Short answer: No.
Long answer: No, and stop asking stupid questions.
This fucking timeline…
It’s like we’re on a speed run toward the near-future Charlie Brooker warned us about.
But TBF, “Hang the DJ” was one of the few Black Mirror episodes that wasn’t a total downer.
When do we get the Home Assistant who falls in love with its owner and tries to kill their partner out of jealousy?
Black Mirror didn’t do that one, but American Horror Stories did:

Which is surprising because that show normally kinda sucks. Got roped into watching it last year, and I forgot I was watching AHS halfway through and almost thought it was a new Black Mirror.
I feel like there was a YouTube Premium series that paid homage to the original story, too, but I don’t remember the name of the show.
Simpsons did it first, with Pierce Brosnan voicing the home assistant.
I’ll forever know hangthedj as the original GTA cheat
It is widely believed that artificial intelligence could change the world, from solving climate change to curing cancer.
Not by tech people but funnily enough by Silicon Valley tech bros (which are hipsters).
In the future the machine will know what to do. Ome day you’ll be properly invested in the future of your particular company just turning that one knob when the screen blinks you into activity. Next thing you know, it will pull off your pants 👖😏, and you’ll be dragged… kindly at moderate G forces to a romantic cavern in all sorts of pretty colors but really dark. You’ll feel your genitalia either get plugged or get plugged into several times but less than 10. A little pinch followed by the usual ecstacy and bliss for 4 seconds. blah blah, a warm water stream bidet cleans you up and you’re back at the office with pants and all. It will be super efficient and you don’t have to worry about who pays for what. Just keep turning the knob when the screen tells you to and all will be fine. Oh and Dave? If you got anything to say to Dave, you better get it off your chest now, he’s hitting 50, do you see anyone else ever hitting 50? Didn’t think so. He retires tomorrow. Oh that was yesterday, he’s already made into tir…you know whatever people who are 50 do and then you never hear from them ever again.
