I'm starting to think the robot things from The Matrix didn't figure out to enslave us out of nowhere. Like I'm pretty sure we legit gave them the idea and they just ran with it.

"yes I could help you build a peaceful society where crime is unheard of and poverty is elimin-"

"No see we just want you to do it but keep poor people poor so they know their place"
