I'm curious about the numbers now. The first thing that comes to mind when I think of creepy AI is 2001: A Space Odyssey which is a male example and has been pretty influential. But I don't know if you're right and the female ones outnumber the male now or not.

It's a very good question...I'm wondering what the overall trend is versus the most recent one. Think about the original Terminator, and the era when the machines and technology we feared were almost all masculine.

Then there was a shift? Short circuit, WarGames, WALL-E. These were all friendlier AIs, and all more childish though male. Chappie's another one.

But now it seems like there's this trend toward realistic (female) androids to be feared again, and I think they represent something different than just fearsome technology. I think, mixed in, they might possibly represent some aspect of the feminine out of male control.
