I've read several dystopian novels like Stanfill's 'The Prophecy of the
Heron' but I'm currently reading 'Star Scrapper' which takes a different
approach. The protagonist makes a living searching for stellar scrap and
finds a cube that turns out to be an AI that has been suspended for
several hundred years. AI is completely illegal and subject to the
Inquisition in the current society. When reactivated this cube turns out
to be friendly and helpful, even with a very human sense of humor putting
the protagonist in a quandary.

Pessimistic by nature I see AI going very wrong in the long run. In the
short run I see the current tulip fad going bust leaving a lot of
investors hung out to dry.

One use I have seen for AI is making interesting/grotesque pictures:

        Trump praying alone in church... with 6 fingers.

        Crab Jesus (there are many variations on this theme).

I found one (using my phone) with Jesus about ready to slam down on a robot in
street fight. I cannot find it again; the faces in the crowd are mostly quite
grotesque, almost non-human. What the heck I'll post it:

You can also find Jesus laying hands on Trump and other fictitious memes.
