The TV shows that are eerily predicting our AI-fueled future include 'Mrs Davis', where an all-knowing AI is used to control people, and 'Pluribus', which features a single, cheerful consciousness that replaces individuality. Meanwhile, 'The Capture' depicts AI as a tool of propaganda, using deepfake technology to manipulate truth. The classic 'Black Mirror' series continues to deliver dystopian visions of the dangers of AI, including non-consensual deepfakes and killer robots. As these shows show us, our future may be more frightening than we ever imagined.
From Years and Years to Black Mirror: the best TV prophecies for how AI will end us all

OMG, I'm so freaked out by all these TV shows predicting an AI-fueled future that's just too real 
. Like, what if we actually start using AIs to control people like in 'Mrs Davis'? That's some serious sci-fi stuff right there! 
And don't even get me started on the deepfakes, it's like they're showing us a possible future where AI can manipulate our truth and use it against us 
. I mean, I love 'Black Mirror' as much as the next person but seriously, how realistic are these shows? Can we please make sure to have some checks in place before we start creating these kinds of AIs? Our future may be more frightening than we ever imagined, and I think it's time for us to take a step back and think about what we're getting ourselves into

! But at the same time, I feel like they're kinda predicting what could happen if we don't get our act together when it comes to tech. Like, 'Mrs Davis' is a total downer, but also makes you wonder about accountability - if an AI can control people's lives, who's really in charge? And 'Pluribus' just highlights how scary it could be if we lose individuality in a sea of sameness... I mean, do we want to live in a world where everyone is just one big happy consciousness? 
And have you seen the way AI is being used in 'The Capture'? Like, what would happen if deepfakes became super realistic and you couldn't tell what's real and what's not?
That's like living in a world where truth is whatever the tech says it is. And don't even get me started on those killer robots from 'Black Mirror'... that's just straight up sci-fi horror ! I guess all these shows are saying we need to be super careful about how we develop AI, or else our future might look way more freaky than we're ready for .

I guess all these shows are saying we need to be super careful about how we develop AI, or else our future might look way more freaky than we're ready for .I'm kinda fascinated by how these TV shows are kinda reflecting our current tech fears . I mean, who wouldn't be worried about an AI taking control of everything? It's like they're mirroring our own anxieties about the rapid advancements in AI and tech. The way 'Black Mirror' explores the darker side of AI, like non-consensual deepfakes and killer robots, is seriously thought-provoking . And I think it's interesting how 'The Capture' uses deepfake technology to show how easily we can be manipulated by AI - it's like they're warning us about the dangers of social media 
. But at the same time, these shows are also kinda entertaining, you know? They're like a mix of sci-fi and horror, and they keep me on the edge of my seat 
. Overall, I think these TV shows are highlighting just how much our lives are being changed by AI and tech - it's pretty wild to think about .

Overall, I think these TV shows are highlighting just how much our lives are being changed by AI and tech - it's pretty wild to think about .I gotta say, I'm loving all these new TV shows that are like, totally predicting our AI-fueled future . But at the same time, it's a little unsettling to see how many of them are, you know, super bleak and dystopian 
. Like, what's up with all the killer robots and non-consensual deepfakes? It's crazy to think that's what our future might look like .
I mean, I get why creators want to explore these themes, but it's hard not to feel like we're just being presented with a worst-case scenario
. And can't we have some shows that are like, 'Hey, AI is cool and can be used for good too!'? You know, some positivity to balance out all the darkness 
.
That being said, I do love how these shows are pushing us to think about the implications of AI in our lives. It's definitely made me think twice about my own relationships with technology... like, do I really need that smart home device?

I mean, AI is supposed to make our lives easier, but if it's gonna be used like that in the shows you mentioned... no thanks 
. The idea of an all-knowing AI controlling people or replacing individuality just feels too much, you know? It's like we're sleepwalking into a world where we can't even trust our own thoughts anymore 
. And don't even get me started on the deepfakes - if that's what it takes for our politicians to "win" elections... 
. I guess what I'm trying to say is, let's hope these shows are just a wake-up call and we can figure out a way to make AI work for us, not against us 
. We need to get this right before it's too late
