It’s interesting that friendly-AI was so common in earlier decades and then this seemed to shift in the 90′s.
As for AI-positive advertisements, that somehow reminded me. . .
did you ever see that popular web-viral anti-banking video called Zeitgeist? In the sequel he seems to have realized that just being a critic wasn’t enough, so suddenly the 2nd part of Zeitgeist addendum turns into a startrek-ish utopia proposal out of nowhere. I forget the name, but it is basically some architect’s pseudo-singularity (AI solves all our problems and makes these beautiful new cities for us but isn’t really conscious or dangerous).
I went to a screening of that film in LA, and I was amazed at how entranced the audience seemed to be. The questions at the end were pretty funny too -
“so .. there won’t be any money? And the AI’s will build us whatever we want?”
“Yes”
“So, what if I want to turn all of Texas into my house?”

You are thinking of Jacque Fresco.
