Not a tvshow/movie, but the Culture Series by Iain Banks is fantastic. It's set in a futuristic, post-scarcity society where human(iods) just fuck around the galaxy while artificial super intelligences run everything. We are basically like their pets, but the good kind where everything is provided for us and we do what we want.

It also has a lot of interesting commentary around the topic of this type of society and the impact it has on the thinking of people living in it.

I really like his anecdote about watching GPT finish that Biology test with great success. It must have been amazing to be there in the room. The fact that it answers questions that were not on the training data set or that it can actually articulate answers for questions that ask you to rationalize instead of memorize is a great counter example for people that say "its just autocomplete on steroids bro".
