My favorite scifi AI trope is the smart home that locks itself down into a fortress in response to an unexpected threat scenario and then the *good* guys have to figure out how to get past defenses and talk it back down to not locked down. Much more interesting than terminator.

Rick does the fortress retrofit to the family home in Rick and Morty but I don’t think they’ve done the rogue lockdown plot yet. The smart house in Eureka does that in one episode.

wasn't there an Asimov story like this where they finally got through the security perimeter on all fours, because that made the AI think they were animals?

Not quite the same, but in Ubik (Philip Dick) the protagonist is so broke his front door won't let him out of his apartment until he pays his bills.
