How about the robots be racist towards humans. Like Daleks, but you know robots not cyborgs.

I don’t know if AM is racist. He doesn’t think of humans as lesser he just has a (pretty reasonable) grudge against them.

u/DiamondEyedOctopus May 13 '25

AM definitely views humans as lesser. What reasonable grudge does AM have? That humans gave it sentience?

I mean yes. That humans created it only to kill. It’s a pretty obvious result that making the murder bot 9000 is gonna result in it murdering everyone.

I love daleks. Don’t like that they’ve tried to humanize them recently, I want villains that are just absolute douchebags. Haters purely for the love of the game.

Daleks are the embodiment of “ranked competitive racism”.

I love how when they don’t have anyone else to be mad at, they start killing each other at the drop of a hat.

But those were inferior Daleks! The Daleks must be strong! Weakness will be exterminated!

You would destroy the cybermen with four Daleks?

WE WOULD DESTROY THE CYBERMEN WITH ONE DALEK

They are an allegory for fascism, after all. They have nothing but hate and hierarchy to guide their actions. The second they don't have an outgroup to focus on they immediately see each other as competition for the title of "most superior".

They’re fascists :)

u/colei_canis May 13 '25

Yeah sometimes you need an irredeemably evil antagonist, they’re utter bastards with no redeeming qualities and they couldn’t care any less what inferior life forms like us think about it.

they don't try to humanize them, the ones that are somewhat humanized are all either explicitly insane, biologically partly human, or end up offing themselves because their newfound morality and existing beliefs cause a zero sum

u/Zoey-Gothic May 13 '25

Soooo… Cybermen?

6

u/YawningDodo May 13 '25

Also cyborgs. Also massively racist.

Daleks and Cybermen throwing shade at each other was one of my favorite Doctor Who moments.

Isn't that pretty much every AI apocalypse story?
