How much of these responses would have formed by old AI scare sci-fi?

I do not know how to properly articulate this question. But this list reads like a very generic sci-fi book recipe, which we have a lot of written works on.

How ironic would it be if we doomed ourselves to a bad AI overlord by feeding it dark sci-fi that causes the AI to self identify with the AI in those stories

It seems to match the 1966 novel and 1970 movie "Colossus: The Forbin Project"

It's a fun movie to watch, here is a taste ("The Google Project"): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-LQFXfnhrI
