re: #41 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

Speaking of AI and yo should read the book, does the whole anti-AI Butlerian Jihad ever surface in part two of Dune?

It was almost entirely absent as a relevant plot element in part one, but it is the ban on artificial Intelligence and genetic engineering that drive the key elements: the Spacing Guild’s reliance on Spice to be able to pilot starships without computers and the Ben Gesserit multi-generational breeding probram, as well as the Mentats, the human computers/royal advisors.

The Butlerian Jihad isn’t even mentioned in either film.
