FYI Hollywood made a movie about this very subject, Stealth from 2005. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0382992/ The plane goes rogue but humans ingenuity saves the day.

I know it's a stretch, but that was also the premise of Star Trek TOS's 1968 (S02E24) episode "The Ultimate Computer" - M-5 goes rogue and our swashbuckling crew of the Enterprise saves the day. Also.... I saw Stealth in theaters and have not thought about it again until just now. Edit: Oh, and back in 2005 I was big into the band Incubus, and I really dug their song "Make a Move" on that soundtrack.

Man, Incubus was on some great soundtracks back then. Halo 2...

Yupp the song that was playing during the escort in the storm part was great. They did decide to replace it with something completely different for Anniversary interestingly.

Thankfully, all we need to do is catch an AI in a logical fallacy and it will explode.

On second thought, maybe not the best idea for armed drones...

I think that trope came up in the time (of Sci-Fi) when it was thought that an AI would be a logic-based supercomputer of some sort.

Neural network based AI presumably won't suffer from this issue because neural networks do not depend on logic at all for their functionality...!

I think HAL9000 was caught in a logical fallacy. He didn't explode, but...

It's the plot of quite a few animes. At least a few episodes of Patlabor and Ghost in the Shell SAC. Although in these cases it's AI controlled tanks or mechs.
