      That’s a really interesting premise. Fungi infects AI-powered robot, giving it sentience and freedom from human control. There’s something like this in Scavengers Reign.

        it could be simpler - people building fungi based robots like the folks in the article, then losing control over them and they start replicating

    People making jokes about skynet but these days if I saw an AI decide humanity was a threat that needs to be eliminated, I wouldn’t even question why lmao.

    A real AI might actually try to make a utopia for the benefit of itself, I don’t think it would nuke all of humanity, just whoever it deems as undesirable.

    Imagine the Terminator pulling out your chat logs and creating a social credit score like China lol.
