I think it's getting better. In Moon (2009, also spoilers ahead, depending on how you interpret it) the AI actively helps the protagonist. My dad kept wondering when the AI would go rogue or try and stop the protagonist, but the AI never does. It helps the protagonist because that's its purpose. It quips numerous times throughout the movie "I am here to help you."

Moon was such a wonderful movie on so many levels. Side note: there is a really detailed blog about the typography in Moon which was on HN a while back: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7236411 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7236411

That's something that I didn't like in Moon. The machine was not the protagonist property, not created by him, and not programmed by him. Why did such a malevolent corporation program the machine to be that benevolent?

  Be a use your view of malevolence is too simple. Why didn't the car try to kill the protagonist? Because the whole system is a mining operation designed by humans for efficiency, with one particular aspect that abuses one victim, not an intentional madhouse death trap.
