I saw ads for that movie, White Noise...it was about recordings that have hidden messages and that freaked me out big time. So no, it's totally normal to be afraid of that stuff.

Artificial intelligence is not called "artificial intelligence" because it is artificially-created intelligence. It is called "artificial intelligence" because it merely *appears* to be intelligence to the casual observer. A better term might be "fake intelligence", but that wouldn't sound nearly as cool. Robots programmed with artificial intelligence respond to stimuli in a way that is specified by programming. The only decisions they can make are the ones taken into account by the computer program, and they can only make the decisions that the programmer programs them to make. Robots are no more intelligent than a hammer.
Even adaptive programming and neural nets are fake intelligence, not true intelligence artificially created.
Telephone recordings and manikins have no intelligence, artificial or otherwise.

The only theory that ever really made me stop and think it could have some scary truth to it is...
I've heard it said that computers are becoming so advanced that one day they be more smart then humans. Then the possibility of them controlling humans may become. Then we would not be the #1 intelligence on this planet.
I know this may never happen but who's to say that anything is not possible.

I am not afraid of AI. I would be more afraid of what the programmer might program it to do. I have no fear of telephone recording, but I hate them and will never leave a message...I find it annoying when a damn recording answers the phone...

I am afraid of a lot of artificial intelligence, one of them is computers and the internet. Did you know everything you type while on the internet is kept in a record that can later be used against you in a court of law? That is very scary! : )

I saw an episode of Tales From the Dark Side when I was a kid about an evil telephone that strangles people. When it killed the neighbor, her telephone turned evil too. I still don't like phones. Really, how many people in their early twenties can you name who don't have a cell phone? Only me. :(

no, because artificial intelligence is just this - artificial. there can be no more intelligence placed into the device than it already had to begin with unless it is reprogram ed to handle more data by humans

No, but it's not a weird fear. Those things can be unnerving; there were several episodes of 'The Twilight Zone' which dealt with those things.
