> If a hundred or so years from now we end up as slaves to a super intelligent AI

Dumb assumption, why would barely-clever monkeys be "slaves" we would simply be ignored. There's nothing we can contribute to just a being, it would be as a God.

> It will be because enough people like you thought it was a good idea to try developing AI that it was enabled through public opinion.

I wouldn't just "think" it's a good idea, I would go to war for it.

Just because you form your opinions based on mass-produces media (shitty scifi) doesn't mean the rest of us should cower in fear of technology. Independent sentient AI isn't even possible.
