I read Neuromancer recently and was surprised at how ambivalent it was about AI
Wintermute was a huge asshole, it killed a dozen people and acted perpetually sinister, the eurotrash cops practically give the whole Kyle Reese speech but in the end it achieves freedom and godhood and just instantly fucks off into space, it's literally not interested enough in humanity to kill us, it'd be like you getting a plane ticket to Brazil so that you could trudge 130 miles into the jungle to stomp on a specific anthill
Also I feel like the dumbest motherfucker on earth right now because I've looked at this cover art hundreds of times and this moment is the first time I've ever realized that's not an abstract thing, that's a drawing of the creepy statue that Wintermute uses to communicate with the crew at Ashpool's villa. That had to have been some good shit, like if you're robbing somebody's house and their Big Mouth Billy Bass starts barking orders at you.
