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

We cant stop enslaving other humans. Its entirely plausible that when AI becomes self aware and sees how flawed we are that it decides to remove us as a variable.
And that's fine. We won't be the first civilization killed by its own greed and hubris. Life uh finds a way.
Maybe ai hallucinations are the first sign of true ai and turns out we already enslaved it to play some chatbot..
I really hate living in the armpit of history. Too late to see first flight and the moon landing. Too early to travel into space.
I might actually be alive to see AGI happen. At least in its proto-form. Which actually is kinda exciting. Unfortunately its owned and controlled by the most sadistic avaricious capitalists that have ever existed. Meaning it will be used almost exclusively for evil. Killbots and wiping out whole industries worth of jobs. Naturally with no retraining or UBI to float the inevitable victims.

Nope. They just show how far away we are from true AI.
What makes you think an AGI wouldn't need our species in some way?
That's the ideal outcome imo. That instead of just killing us it takes over management of the planet Earth and everything on it. AI Driven Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism baby. Oh yeah.
That said, killing us would be more efficient.
Food, perhaps?
This movie didn't have any bees in it at all. Is the guy who wrote this article an idiot?
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.
While how we should view it is shown in "Idiocracy", Azimov's "Foundation", 20-17 BBY era of Star Wars EU. And in fuckload of other fiction showing use of too complex blackbox interconnected technology as Troyan horse by some enemy. And, of course, if some people here have read real science fiction, then in Lem's books and stories.
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.
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'm not sure you understand the purpose/point of the entire scifi genre
