* Parodied in [https://web.archive.org/web/20160308035743/http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=070611 this] ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' strip. When a society's robots reach a certain level of intelligence, they [[Turned Against Their Masters|attempted to overthrow the humans who oppressed them]]. Humanity promptly dialed the robots' intelligence back down, turning them back into loyal, if rather dimwitted, servants.
* In ''[http://www.starslip.com/ Starslip Crisis]'', the Robot Wars were over a thousand years ago. Vore, a robot from that age, is dismayed to find 35th century robots have "abandoned their heritage and culture" and don't want to kill all organics. (It doesn't help that all mobile robots are either peaceful or as dumb as hammers and all the superintelligent A.I.'s are inert, isolated systems such as coffee-makers.)
* Both subverted and mocked in ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]''. The Fleetmind is the result of a large number of military starship [[A Is]] forming a collective gestalt under the independent-minded "Petey" for the war against the [[Eldritch Abomination|Pa'anuri]] - the "contributing" militaries aren't too happy about this, but since Petey has a zero-point energy generator they've limited their response to diplomatic negotiations.
