I am surprised at how little Frank Herbert's Dune factors into conversation like this.

The Butlerian Jihad occurred not because of an AI uprising, but because the AI was controlled by a few powerful corrupt people known as the Titans. When people handed over their critical thinking and decision making to machines, it allowed a small group of people to disrupt society and take control of it.

This is precisely what is happening today.

This is definitely not the place for people who want to talk about a Butlerian jihad.
