   Science fiction has always given us both hope and dire warnings about what could be.

     Rewatched Terminator 2 last night. Fun movie about Al leading to nuclear war and how the easiest way to kill someone is to dress up like a cop. Can't say its themes resonate today.

     @georgetakei It did get one thing wrong: that AI supposedly decided humanity had to go, whereas in reality the AI will just enter the launch codes because someone prompted it for a recipe for soup.

     The unrealistic part of the Terminator franchise is 'Skynet became sentient'. Replace that with 'Skynet hallucinated that everyone was the enemy' and you've got a 100% plausible premise.
