What makes you think that an AI would be able to do any of these things simply by being an AI?

Please explain your reasoning.

Thanks!

Here’s a pre-Clarke ebook.

In the movie Forbidden Planet, the Krell recorded their music into medicine-capsule-sized cylinders. The George Pal Time Machine film has “talking rings” information storage.

Thank you for introducing me to technovelgy.com, JohnnyYesterday.  Just what I needed - another addictive website to get lost in for hours!  I knew that Stanislaw Lem was brilliant (I've read Solaris), but I didn't know he was that brilliant.  I'll have to read The Cyberiad and Return From the Stars when I get the time.

And I'll have to check out Forbidden Planet and The Time Machine (1960) again, because it has been decades since I last watched these classics.
