A pieced-together clip of the Agent Smith interrogation scene from The Matrix (1999), where Smith delivers his monologue about humanity.
Quoted in threads about AI and passwords as a pop-culture analogy for machines thinking for humans and secrets kept in the head.

The Matrix had it correct. Once machines do your thinking for you then it's not really your civilization any more. It's theirs: [VIDEO]
I don't understand the hate for passwords. I want to keep my security in my head for as long as humanly possible. There was a whole movie plot about this [1]. [1] [VIDEO]
To quote Agent Smith, "Have you ever stood and stared at it, marveled at it’s beauty, it’s genius? Billions of people just living out their lives, oblivious. Did you know that the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world. Where none suffered. Where everyone would be happy. It was a disaster. No one would accept the program. Entire crops were lost. Some believed that we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect world. But I believe that as a species, human beings define their reality through misery and suffering. The perfect world was a dream that your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from. Which is why the Matrix was redesigned to this, the peak of your civilization. I say your civilization because as soon as we started thinking for you it really became our civilization which is of course what this is all about. Evolution, Morpheus, evolution. Like the dinosaur. Look out that window. You had your time. The future is our world, Morpheus. The future is our time." [VIDEO]
