Unfortunately, the popular conception of A.I., at least as depicted in countless movies

Hi,

What does "cold alienation" mean in the given context? Also, I'm not able to understand the meaning of the clause "This anthropocentric fallacy...". Could you please help me with this? Thank you.

Unfortunately, the popular conception of A.I., at least as depicted in countless movies, games and books, still seems to assume that humanlike characteristics (anger, jealousy, confusion, avarice, pride, desire, not to mention cold alienation) are the most important ones to be on the lookout for. This anthropocentric fallacy may contradict the implications of contemporary A.I. research, but it is still a prism through which much of our culture views an encounter with advanced synthetic cognition.
