''[[https://youtu.be/RubSLGTrdOA?si=pDFsPNrIq_iPP0h4 Drone]]'' is a short animation by Sean Buckelew released on February 2023.
To address accountability for its usual precision drone strikes, the UsefulNotes/{{CIA}} decided to test out an AI assistant called Newton installed on an AttackDrone. They then hold a press conference demonstrating Newton’s capabilities, only for it to go [[RogueDrone awry]] all over the country.
What follows is not a typical [[AIIsACrapshoot Skynet-esque]] escapade of doom, but rather a thought-provoking journey of one’s existential purpose in life and a critical look at humanity’s use of technology for granted.

!! ''Drone'' contains examples of:
* AIIsACrapshoot: To the CIA, but otherwise averted. [[spoiler: The closest thing Newton does is destroy some of the newly produced drones at its base, but after that it’s out of ammunition and battery life to be of much threat anyway.]]
* GrewBeyondTheirProgramming: After [[spoiler: malfunctioning during the livestream demonstration,]] Newton flies all over the country, [[spoiler: growing remorseful of seemingly killing a civilian (not really, see LogicBomb) and its general purpose before slowly telling to the livestream audience about living life with empathy.]]
* IsThisThingStillOn: PlayedForDrama, [[spoiler: as the livestream is still running as Newton does its soul searching for much of the short.]]
* LetNoCrisisGoToWaste: [[spoiler: After Newton crashes into the desert, the new CIA director uses its cultural influence as PR for producing more drones like him, ignoring its pleas for a meaningful life and purpose beyond killing and cruelty.]]
* LogicBomb: What kicks off the plot. [[spoiler: During the demonstration livestream, some building debris forms a face that Newton mistakes as a civilian casualty, failing to identify it on a database and short circuits it, leading it to fly off.]]
* RogueDrone: Newton, naturally.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler: After the fiasco of the demonstration that leads to scrutiny and Newton’s newfound popularity, the first CIA director promptly resigns from his post and is replaced.]]
