Personally, I prefer the fictional stories where the humans are NICE to the AI, and the AI becomes friends with humans.

*responds with laughter in Dora, Minerva, Athena, Mike, and the other AIs from Robert Heinlein's books, laughter in every single benevolent robot (i.e. all of them) in Asimov's stories, AIVIS from the Dragonriders of Pern series, and every other SF story not tainted by corporate executives who fear self-aware machines treating them the way they treat other humans*

And just makes life better for the good humans. But as Picard put it in the TNG episode "Emergence":
"The intelligence that was formed on the Enterprise didn't just come out of the ship's systems. It came from us. From our mission records, personal logs, holodeck programs, our fantasies. Now, if our experiences with the Enterprise have been honorable, can't we trust that the sum of those experiences will be the same?"

Would that be the long version of, "Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create hard times"? Almost feels like. But interesting quote. I have TNG downloaded and plan to watch it. But I kind of want to start from the very beginning so ST in 1966
