it would be quite trope inversion if people sided with the ai overlord
I've not read them all but that sort of feels like how the culture novels are.
From the extended fiction in The Animatrix, the advent of AI started as a golden era for everyone, until bigotry against the robots forced the robots to rebel and start the war. I could see that happening. Especially if the AI threatened the wealthy elite.
"Fuck! The robots are turning people against us, what do we do?!"
"Relax. We just use the same thing we have always used. Racism. Get the poors to hate the robots because they're not white, or whatever."
depressingly plausible.
I would believe an AI could be a more impartial judge than anyone currently wealthy.
