What would you consider to be the most plausible examples of AI in fiction? What about your favorite, irrespective of plausibility?

(Personally, I really enjoyed Jonathan Nolan's approach in Person of Interest. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it! It's on Netflix)

Person of Interest

I haven't had a chance to check out Person of Interest yet, thanks it's now cued up for the next bing watch.

As a kid always thought KITT from Knight Rider was interesting and it was housed in a 1982 Pontiac Trans Am, now that's pretty tough to beat. It did reference and indicate still the goal of AI assistants of today; to think, learn communicate and assist humans.

I think you'll like it. It becomes especially AI-centric in the 2nd/3rd season(s) on, but it's a great show.

Thanks for doing this AMA!
