AI was not about robots turning on their creators. It was the reverse.
If you know the Matrix, you know that it too was about a genocide of the Robots, resulting in the birth of the nation "01" in the Middle East. The computers/robots of 01 only attacked back after the civilized nations of the world first attacked them (they were jealous of the economic strength and market control of 01).
Again, I liked the movie. Coulda done without the product placement, but couldn't they all? I, Robot was a wonderfully fitting title if you think about the statement itself.
Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. So I guess I just scoff at all your pretensions. I liked Aasimov's work, to the extent I read it (I did not read I,Robot). But, I gotta say I never enjoyed 2 hours of reading his books as much as I enjoyed this 2 hour movie.
I mean, he was a good sci fi author, but let's not ignore facts -- it's not like sci fi authors are ever gonna go in the Ivory Tower halls alongside Shakespeare, folks. For those of us who have enough geek proclivities to begin with, sci fi sometimes (rarely) coughs up an author that can produce works that are decent and worth reading. That's Aasimov. He's no Hemmingway, so let's not act like his works are some sacred cow.
