Are you talking about reality or a movie? Since when have hackers completely subverted a whole industry for good? Google and Amazon still exist and continue to do evil despite hackers existing. Militaries are using AI drones as well even though they are still new and therefore more prone to bugs and hacking.
The same can be said about "muh robots".
Robots are real and improving all the time. AI has already surpassed the level of intelligence of many movie robots that can't even get English grammar right or do creative things.
Scripted tech demos in controlled environments and autonomous intelligent robots aren't even remotely the same thing.
According to Silicon Valley snake oil salesmen, truck drivers would have been replaced 6 years ago, programmers would be 6 months away from being jobless and we'd already be underway colonizing Mars. And cold fusion? It was 20 years away in the fucking 70s.
A lot of grifters make bad predictions. That doesn't mean nothing has changed and that it isn't accelerating.
They wouldn't be doing it for "good". They'll be doing it for the laughs.
