Who's Afraid of Artificial Intelligence?

The robot apocalypse is probably a ways off, but the pop culture robot apocalypse arrived years ago. Our movies imagine a doom spiral of slavery and extinction, but reality is a bit different: Robots build cars and dance for our pleasure. Imagine robots are terrifying and real robots are useful, but that doesn't stop us from fearing our potential overlords. To be clear, what I'm talking about is closer to prejudice than "robophobia," which is, by definition, an irrational fear. The fear of robots I'm referring to seems to stem from associations people make and conclusions that they draw. The fear is not irrational, but that doesn't mean it's well thought out.
