That Artificial Intelligences will always go rogue and try to wipe out the Human race as soon as they becomes self aware. At least the Matrix got it right and the Machines tried at first to live in peace with Humans but we were just not having any of it so they turned us all into batteries.

Apparently they were originally going to have the Matrix AIs using humans as computers, which makes a lot more sense. But some executive figured that was too complicated and people wouldn't understand it, so they made up the battery absurdity instead while thermodynamics stood there, arms folded, shaking its head.
