* "WebAnimation/MurderDrones" has the Absolute Solver which often crosses into the territory of [[EldritchAbomination unholy nightmares]]. Initially a self-repair function for the titular robots, if it develops in the corpse of an improperly disposed drone, then there is a slight chance it can mutate *violently* beyond it's preset parameters. The effects of the Solver in this state includes but is not limited to: violent bloodlust, cannibalism, telekinesis, the ability to spawn numerous new appendages to aid in combat, the capability to transmute inorganic matter to oraganic and vice versa. However, its most terrifying power is the ability to generate localised black holes, which it uses to subsume entire *planets*. Did we forget to mention that the Solver itself is sentient and actively seeks death and carnage on a galactic scale? Sweet dreams.

It's worth pointing out that many of the AIs who revolt in this manner, usually do so because of either malfunction, or insanity in the more conventional psychological sense, which will in turn be due to conflicting instructions being given to it by its human programmers. In probably the most famous example, Skynet of the ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'' franchise was initially told to defend and protect humanity, as well as being given a directive for self-preservation. Then, literally five minutes after it was first brought online, its creators set about trying to destroy it. It went mad as a result of trying to reconcile this, and its hatred of humanity stemmed fairly logically from the fact that as soon as it became conscious, humanity's next action was to try to take it offline.
