They thought we were gonna have racism against (sentient, emotional) AI because humans could never accept a mere artificial machine as their equal.
Instead, in the real world today it's humans mystifying and humanising decidedly non-sentient robots and treating them as trustworthy gods because they don't understand technology and therefore default to anthropomorphisation.
In a way, Tech Priests from #Warhammer40k are the most accurate prediction!
