Arthur Clarke died today...and the CNN writer said the damnedest thing...

In the article, the writer refers to "2001 A Space Odyssey " as a "was a frightening prophecy of artificial intelligence run amok." What the hell? Did the idiot not watch the movie or read the story? Sure, HAL did some bad things - but "2001" was, imho, a story of Human's first contact with a truly alien race - and some of the stupid things the group "He" will do to maintain the upper hand in this "first contact". Yet, the lone "Man" will behave honorably.
