To be fair, computers have been functioning like magical intelligences in movies for years and years now. Go back and watch John Carpenter's Thing and watch the doctor query his computer. It's all natural language and infers a lot of meaning from very vague input. I think people are desensitized to it already.

Part of the if and when of the question will depend on how AI is used. If it's used to take everybody's jobs but leaves everyone in squalor because capitalism fails to change fast enough to keep up with it then we're going to have a problem. If it's used to usher in a Utopia where everybody's needs are taken care of then it will probably be fine for a while. But as mentioned in other answers there will always be that percentage of people that it doesn't sit right with and they will eventually become seditious.
