I remember first watching the Matrix.

They they made the Animatrix as a companion piece.

The Second Renaissance [0] episode of the Animatrix talks about how the machines came to power in the Matrix universe. At the time, it made sense within the bounds of the movies.

Reading about a lot of this AI discussion makes me feel like it was a documentary sent back in time.
