Wh-What next?

I haven't seen any of these 4 movies, but I just read some summaries. There is a common point between these 4 movies (apart from the fact that they are all sci-fi movies from the 70s/early 80s): artificial intelligence
In Zardoz, Saturn 3 and Forbin Project, artificial intelligence ends up having power over humans and controlling them. This doesn't seem to be the case in Looker, but since I haven't seen the movies, I can't be 100% sure yet.
Here are excerpts from summaries highlighting the role of artificial intelligences in these films: The Forbin Project Saturn 3Zardoz
LookerI think artificial intelligence is the key to this riddle. As stated by vice, SBB used the 6 dots (......) so we can assume that this riddle is about GTA VI and not Everywhere or something else.

So R* has already revealed that AI would be leaps and bounds better in VI. Here's an article from a little over a year ago explaining what exactly that could mean for GTAVI (along with some assumptions from the author) earlygame.com/gaming/gta-6-news-ai-changes-update-rockstarI'm absolutely looking forward to learning more about what R* has up their sleeves here. Maybe we're close to learning more?

"AI IO"? Googling it I've found this data science and engineering company: ai-io.io/

The line "he hud a farm AI AI IO" seems like it is also a reference to the old children's nursery rhyme Old MacDonald Had a Farm, in which a repeated statement is that "Old MacDonald had a farm E I E I O"
Here's an example of the nursery rhyme's more complete lyrics:

Ah I get it now, just never had seen the written lyrics.
I'm enthusiastic about the promised AI improvements, specifically about the "machine learning approaches", as we can read on the article posted by br. Telemundini:
Machine learning is a subset of AI which allows a machine to automatically learn from past data or experiences without being explicitly programmed. I believe that, as br. Oh Sees outlined, all the movies have AI as a common theme. If we dig a little more, in all of them the machines start to behave in an unexpected manner, as if they've learned something beyond their programmed capacities.
In The Forbin Project, we have the "Colossus", an advanced supercomputer built to control the United States and Allied nuclear weapon systems, that goes beyond the its intended purpose and ends up taking the world
Saturn 3 has Hector, a robot working from "pure brain tissue" extracted from human fetuses and programmed using a direct link to Benson's brain. Even after being disabled and having his brain removed, Hector remains functional and somehow manages to restore itself, taking over the station.
In Zardoz, the Tabernacle is programmed to protect itself by not revealing information that could lead to its own destruction. However, when Zed finally understands its true nature, Tabernacle surprisingly admits it and allows him access to its inner dimensions.
Looker doesn't have an AI taking over (as far as I've read, haven't seen the movie), but has computer-generated models in commercials that hypnotize people to buy the products.

More mention of AI. AI still at infancy, but we are more advanced on the other hand?? Also, what's this portrait??

Another turtle reference. Not sure of this matters, but the art is signed "gerri" which lead me to Gerri Hyman, an artist from South Carolina. www.artpal.com/gerrihyman#i4

Turtles are used to symbolize longevity, steadfastness, home and retreat. "Slow and steady wins the race" is often associated with the turtle. We see in the Zardoz video that, when asked "how things stand", Zed replies that "the voice of the turtle is heard on the land". My first impression from this is that things will develop on a slower pace. Perhaps the improvements on the AI demand longer work to be fully enacted. I might be wrong (and hopefully I am), but this would make sense with the phrase "Don't say you weren't warned". This can also mean that the project is aimed to be long-lived, like a turtle.
If someone can debunk this, please do. I'll be glad.
