I don’t know how you can look at the development of generative AI tools in the past few years and write so dismissively about “science fiction” becoming reality

Most science fiction has to do with robots (almost always robots) being (essentially) a superior counterfactual version of humans. With that context it's almost a natural assumption that such beings would revolt.

On the other hand, the realm of non-fiction has been predicting the automation of intelligent processes by computational processes since Alan Turing first suggested it in Computing Machinery and Intelligence. Probably before then, as well.

The only exception I can think of for fiction is the movie "Her," which as far as I can tell effectively predicted the future. Not really, of course, but every inch of that movie down to how people work pre and post AI, how people play video games pre and post AI, and how people socialize pre and post AI, are starting to look eerily accurate.
