I wonder if Fred Saberhagen’s “Berserker” story series qualifies.

The premise is there are these giant killer robot ships, (I think
self-repairing and self-reproducing), that are out to exterminate all
organic life (including humanity). Why? Because they are leftover from
an ancient war between two long-vanished civilizations. They were
created by one (or both?) of the warring parties as the ultimate
weapon, but they were *too* successful. And having killed off their
creators, there was nobody left with the ability to turn them off.

Either their original mission (“destroy the other side”) was not
phrased specifically enough, or the machines themselves learned to
generalize it, in the absence any remaining targets matching the
original criteria, to attack other living beings they came across as
well.

Given such a bleak-sounding premise, the stories themselves were
surprisingly far from bleak. At least the few I remember reading so
far.
