* One of the many antagonists for ''Website/GoAnimate'' videos are known as "Barney Errors" (there are others, but Barneys are the most used). These errors use the story of someone killing Barney and placing a bomb in his lair that will go off in 24 hours. The Errors are super smart as they will prevent people from turning the computer off, installing anti-virus programs, installing a new OS or even forcefully shutting down the computer, inflicting time decreases and {{Jump Scare}}s on the poor people.

* ''Literature/TheLastAngel'': One of the few things the Compact and the Askanj agree on is that AIs are a bad thing. Names like 'Abomination' and 'Neverborn' are floated when the subject comes up. In their defense, they seem to have a point. The author has even stated that if her creators saw what Red had become, they would freak out. When the Askanj [[spoiler: stumbled upon an AI civilization, they immediately glassed the planet]], this event is referred to as the Rains of Oshanta. The Compact once fought a GreatOffscreenWar against a self-propagating AI that caused them to develop the mind-killer class of cyber weapons for the express purpose of destroying AIs.

* ''Blinky'' is a short film about a boy who gets a [[RobotBuddy friendly robot]] for Christmas. As the story progresses and the novelty of the robot eventually wears off, in order to try and get rid of him, the boy gives the robot several contradicting commands, like cleaning up a spill, counting down from a million, remaining perfectly still, and killing him, his parents, and the dog. The robot crashes and when he's rebooted, he remembers two commands: the countdown and the order to kill (and he remembers the mother threatening in anger [[spoiler: to cook the son for dinner]]). Most definitely not ThreeLawsCompliant. The entire short can be found here: http://www.traileraddict.com/clip/blinky-tm/short.
