Maybe it's just me, but everything about this announcement feels very I, Robot... and not in a good way.

Ugh.

Edit: Yes, I meant I, Robot the film. U.S. Robotics and the like.

Do you mean "I, Robot", not iRobot the vacuum company? And if so, I'm guessing you're referring to the movie with Will Smith? The original book of short stories isn't really dystopian, it's more just an interesting exploration of Asimov's concept of how robots would work.
