As for me, I would have switched all the machines off after such an accident as described in the movie. I can't say I'm a robot-hater, but the idea of an allmighty and omniscient computer does frighten me. If the machine obtains consciousness, humanity would be no rival to it.
There are two possible alternatives of what comes next, I suppose. On the one hand, the machine may try to find out the purport of life, discover its uselessness and commit a suicide. On the other hand, it may soon realize that carbon forms of life are inefficient, have low potential and therefore are destined to destruction.
My husband said it looks like a phobia, but I can't agree with him. The machines exist in our life for quite a short period of time, and we still don't know where the scientific progress can lead us. I think we should regard futuristic movies and books more as a caution than just as fiction.
