The Librarians
As far as I can tell from old fashioned internet research, it started in 2004 with a movie. It was called The Librarian: Quest for the Spear. That was followed by a second movie in 2006, a third in 2009, and then by a TV series (2014 – 2018) called

Did you hear the one about AI?
You can’t swing a dead meme across the internet these days without hitting something in the AI. So here is a question you can answer depending on your age. Doesn’t AI kind of remind you of “No,” you protest, “all of that stuff was fun.” Yeah, I get it. Millions
