Watching the youtube clip, I had a little bit of compassion with the robot, when that guy was testing it.
I prefer Data.
Star Trek the next Generation already proved beyond reasonable doubt that the robots/androids will not take over the world.

Well for starters, I just realised I could take other people to the boatNo friends, parents, relatives, or lover ?
2nd, my friends would not go with my plan, so I can only wish them luck to survive. My parents and relatives might want to join me on the boat but if they don't, it is their decision and I also wish them luck. As for lover, I'm an Asexual and Aromantic so I don't have one

Perfect candidate for infiltration mission as a spy against the robots

I imagine robots have OCD because they're programmed to finish a task until its "perfectly" over. So maybe we give them something to obsess with then kill them when they least expect. Or just let them to obsess til they run out of batteries.

That would have only worked in the 80's, sadly. Multitasking.
Not to defend what is, honestly, a pretty garbage (but fun) movie, but it is likely that, like our modern military, everything is all massively networked, and a virus could spread to all ships quickly from the mothership, especially if the channels are secure and nobody thinks to put malware safeguards on the individual ships (because nobody expects the mothership to send out viral code).
Doesn't explain why, when using our satellites to communicate with each other, their signals weren't cryptographically coded to the point where Jeff Goldblum couldn't make heads or tails of them. Of course, it could be that the aliens never had to deal with internal cyber-warfare... they could be a hive race... and basically steamrollered every other civilization they'd come across, up to that point.

Arthur C. Clarke also uses the viral gambit in 3001... the Final Odyssey...
They develop a package consisting of the most destructive computer viruses mankind has ever invented, including logic bombs, trojans, and whatnot, whose function is supposed to be independent of the programming language... though this was still a bit of a reach.
They use the Starchild - a mixture now of both Dave and Hal - to deliver the package into the Monolith's operating system.

I think that the idea of advanced civilizations being vulnerable to computer viruses does have some merit... but it will depend on those civilizations not having had any experience at all dealing with them... perhaps because they reached spaceflight as a mono-culture.
With terrestrial AI... no such luck. Any AI we build... or which develops... will already be massively shielded against malicious code, or will learn to shield itself against it.
I think our best bet is suing for peace.

Ya still goof'd cause them drones are on you like flies to 🤬
Also Iron Man never feared no shark, so why would an autonomous machine. You sir are not ready for them bots.
Comparing Iron Man to a normal army of Robots is like comparing the PS4 to the PSVita. Iron Man is to much better to even use him to measure how well will an army of Robots handle sharks.

Ok, don't come crying to me when I sail back to dry land and see you crying over the huge pain the robots have caused you.
