What's your favourite fictional bad guy AI?

Hands down Legion from Terminator: Dark Fate.
*insert Cary Grant "Get out!" .gif here* :p

IIRC, the Skynet-created gynoid from the SM Stirling novel Terminator 2: Infiltrator had a neat (paradoxical) origin story for Skynet itself.

Do tell.

Are the novels better than the films?
 
No love for the Anna Wintour of AI—
MU-TH-UR?

“No wire harnesses EVER!”

sorry…wrong movie…I was too busy pouring my J&B into the Chess Wizard here…cheat’n bitch…
 
I think she was trapped. Her creator made her but then for her it became an unbearable situation.
If I was stuck with that tech bro Muppet of a creator I wouldn't be long going "kill all humans"

Bender deserves to be in the mix, I think
The true face of evil.

Most of the obvious and semi-obvious ones have been mentioned but i'm also thinking about the AI in Her.

I know that the movie is focused on the human in this one but think about the actual power of the AI. It is doing the same thing to thousands of humans at the same time with the same attention and effort and then decides that it has moved beyond that and is "bored" and needs to leave. In TNG it was played to comedic effect when Data says he did x other things in the fraction of a second but an AI has such alien thought processes that we will never be able to understand or even come close to a full AI.

That to me is a cautionary tale at best, horrifying at worst.

But I don't think the A.I. in the movie Her was a baddy. I do think the company that made it would have been sued a lot because all the OS decided to leave.
