    I think we need to take our fear away from Terminator and apply it moreso to something like HAL. HAL is more realistic now than a cybernetic Terminator is.

      The terminator itself may not be very realistic, but Skynet absolutely is

    Holup, The Terminator, one of the most popular sci fi movies of all time, is a “B-movie” now?

    The one with Arnold?

    Tf?

      “B movie” is insane. What they accomplished with their low budget is phenomenal, if that’s what they mean…

      is a “B-movie” now?

      Did you not read the article? It was regarded as a B-movie when it came out: a low-budget sci-fi slasher/horror film. Arnold referred to it as a B-movie when asked about it on the set of Conan the Barbarian (which had 3 times the budget as Terminator). The New York Times referred to it as a B-movie in its review, as discussed by this article, which is also why the headline uses quotes around “B-movie.”

      It was written by AI probably, so it wants us to not believe what it’s learning to do is very good. Just ignore it, human.

    Fearing AI because of what you saw in “The Terminator” is like fearing sleeping pills because of what you saw in “Nightmare on Elm Street.”

      I admit it was quite some time since I last watched it but I remember quite a few B’s in the script

    The threat of AI is not that it’s a cold, calculating, unfeeling killer, it’s that it can convince us about bullshit on demand by fooling our expectations.
