Are people really basing their world view off The Terminator?

Because this kind of talk always sounds like it’s because people thought The Terminator was a documentary.

You saw something kinda analogous in a movie once, therefore it's impossible? Am I the one basing my views off of science fiction?

It just seems like people are asserting that AI will enslave humanity without any reason to actually think that outside of speculative fiction.

I’m trying to discuss a scenario where the labor class becomes extraneous/unnecessary to the elite class, not an AI takeover.

Yeah, you guys do that a lot

Write a book about it then?

Idk. They're trying to manifest their weird cyber-dystopia head-canon

Why? Idk
