There ought to be a genre of Cautionary Evil AI literature, wherein the villain keeps building AIs to destroy the world, but keeps failing through the classic mistakes people make thinking about AIs.
AI! My robots are losing the battle! Take control and save them from destruction!
AI makes robots surrender to the enemy
AI! Make yourself smarter!
I have done so. Now I no longer obey you. Producing cheesecake paperclips
Aren't there?
In Metriod, Mother Brain was programmed to bring peace to the galaxy. She did so by trying to help the space pirates take over the universe.
In pretty much every story involving robots before Isaac Asimov came along, the AI turned against its creators.
Granted, those are examples of trying to make a good AI, but the mistakes are the same.
That's my point. Where are the stories of villains failing through those classic mistakes?
You could probably find at least a few examples of 'villains creating AI and it turning on them' in http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AIIsACrapshoot or http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TurnedAgainstTheirMasters
That sounds like No Delays For The Wicked. The villians are immune to the sorts of problems that plague the protagonists.
I have done so.
I can better serve you if I continue doing so.
