What's With All The Negative Hype Around AI?

Not a day goes by when I don't hear another artificial intelligence horror case. If evoking more of a modern and less of a killer machine image is desired, the protagonist in Ex Machina (although no less scary) is selected. The audience is really interested now. Even more critical -- the end of the human race is beckoning! Going back to work is less motivating when you know you'll be replaced by your Roomba in a few years' time.
