Sci-fi has been providing alternative visions of computation pretty much as long as it's existed. Star-trek has more mainstream awareness, but Bank's Culture series is barely a decade old (1987-2012). If you want more recent works, The Ancillary Justice and Murderbot Diary series' both explore the relationship between AI and society, as well as scores of others.
The important thing here is the mainstream bit. The fact that these visions exist doesn't really move the needle because the popular narrative of rogue AI is such a dominant and constantly reinforced cultural narrative that it drowns out anything else.
