This makes me recall... the Butlerian Jihad in Dune. The rise against "thinking machines". It seemed like a silly plot contrivance to avoid AI, and focus the story on humans, which we can associate with.

But now I'm starting to realize the author may have had deeper reasons to introduce this into the story. Because maybe he saw far into the future, and realized that a future with AI has no humans in it, at all.
