Hello, my name is Betty
The last scene of Twilight’s fourth season showed her crew looking over the skyline of fallen Detroit. Everybody knew what had happened in Detroit, and some were interested in finding out what Twilight had to do with it in real life, but a different question flowed through the networks during Twilight’s season break. Could Rogue AIs do what Twilight and her crew had done? Could AIs directly kill people, and how could we ever stop them if they decided to kill us all? Old stories of Berserkers and Terminators became popular again as people dug them out of the dustbins and waved them around as gospel examples of the threat of too-intelligent machines. Twilight’s studio considered it the best advertising they’d never bought.
