Terminator is pretty good (= fun to watch) as far as action movies go, even though I have a hard time calling it scifi - there's not much science going on, except that there's a robot. But ok, the label is not really important. But using it as some sort of prediction about future is just... Wtf. At least use the scifi stories that the author actually intended to be taken as such (not many of them, and AI is usually what propels the societies leaps forward).

This is not about being well read or too clever. Many people actually think this is some sort of torment nexus and that "scifi has proven you shouldn't build it". Well a) it didn't, b) why are you taking advice from fiction designed to sell books/cinema tickets, and c) where's the joke?

There are movies about cars transforming to huge humanoid destroyers, and yet nobody claims the next Ford car model is the torment nexus. This is the same. A text/audio generator is never going to do a robot uprising, it's just as likely as your neighbor's Ford destroying your house with its giant fists.
