I read the book a while ago. I haven't seen the movie yet, but having the robots "win" is ludacris. We're the ones with the nukes and guns. And most importantly, nukes emit huge EMPs. I swear, the designers must have been retards to hard code sentience into their creations... You don't need a learning machine for household tasks; maybe keep one AI chained up in a lab for testing. Maybe even let some loose on the internet. But still, how anyone could be so stupid is beyond me.
were you not paying attention? *[color=red]couple spoilers ahead[/color]*
[color=blue]VIKI, the old guy's first major break through and super-brain AI was controlling the robots, updating them with a new program to try and rule the humans. remeber that all of the SR-5's were linked to VIKI so they could be updated every so often with up-to-date programming. VIKI decided that the best way to follow the 3 laws of robotics was to rule the humans. so, she began reprogramming the SR-5's to try and control the humans. after Spooner or whatever "killed" VIKI, the SR-5's went back to their orgional program because she was controlling how they acted and moved. the SR-5's didn't band together and say "lets take over the world", VIKI told them to do that. get it?

[color=red]ok, spoliers over.[/color]
