Reply to comment by tupper in Story Compass of AI in Pop Culture by roomjosh

Star Trek was a tricky one, I included 4 titles on the grid. Star Trek: TMP, TNG, First Contact, and Voyager because those stories seem to relate to AI most concretely.

First Contact I believe is the darkest story that's why I put it as less optimistic. Star Trek generally veers utopic and confident with tech. Things just work in the Star Trek universe.

Ooh good catch on TMP. That's interesting.

I'm surprised you don't touch on Insurrection here. The opening act of it basically hinges on an AI gone awry, although the rest is very 'shrug' on AI commentary.
