One of my least-favorite movie tropes is: character arrives at a new (to the audience) location. He is greeted by an intimidating looking character who seems to regard him with contempt. They stare each other down and exchange a few insults and right when it looks like they're about to throw down, the other character instead says "HOW'VE YOU BEEN, YOU OLD SON OF A GUN!" and they hug, revealing that they're actually old friends.

Did it start with Lando and Han? They should knock it off. It's annoying!


there is a rick and morty episode that kinda toys with the same idea

Which one? I can’t remember. The heist crew one maybe?

What's the oldest example of a story in which AI is the villain? Dune?

Things like that or Frankenstein or the golem story are definitely in the area, but I wouldn't say they are strictly AI. More like killer robots.

In Predator 2, the alien is shown to see the world in infrared even without a mask, but his vision seems to be worse without the mask, suggesting that he actually just has poor eyesight and the mask includes glasses for his poor vision.
