Robots with a sense of self-preservation. I think I saw a horror movie with this premise. To avoid its own destruction the robot realized its survival depended on killing all the humans!

"it's survival depended upon killing all humans"

That was a episode of the TV show The Orville.

Though the robots elected to kill all intelegent life forms.

It does seem to be based on the liberal idea of a “limited pie” - limited resources under tight government control- rather than infinite pies... where bakers are free, responsive, and ingenious in the use of both old and new ever-changing resources governed rather impartially if coldly by supply and demand.

But then we really would become obsolete if artificial intelligence machines were designed as entrepreneurial. They’d be free to test their potential while we’d be slogging slowly under the burden of bureaucracy. The machines would quickly recognize humans as parasitic and want to protect themselves from exploitation.

Ummm...I think that this is always where the problems begin with the robots in the movies.
