Abstract
Today we are in the midst of an artificial intelligence (AI) revolution. As generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and Google Gemini become increasingly available and accessible for more people to use, so does the growing concern for the ethics of their use and future consequences of this technology by geographers and the general public. By taking a look into the universe of Dune, a science fiction work that operates in a future world without AI “thinking machines”, we can gain insight into public perception and rising fear mongering regarding AI tools. As we proceed as a society, we will have to make decisions regarding how to navigate a future with AI technology and how to mitigate the privacy issues and ethical concerns that AI tools bring without violent revolution or confiscation.
