Can the Terminator reality ever happen?

Personally I just dont see it, I think its sensationalism

The thing with Science Fiction is that it gives inventors something to aim for, a lot of Science fiction in books from say 50 plus years ago is reality.

Here's a short interesting article about a drone that attacked its own side to stop them stopping it from killing https://news.sky.com/story/ai-drone-kills-human-operator-during-simulation-which-us-air-force-says-didnt-take-place-12894929

Not saying the story is true but it does suggest a terminator is possible.

It depends what specific parts of the Terminator universe you are referring to. I don't believe in time travel, but I don't doubt the development of military robots.

If we ever develop the ability to 3d print entire functioning robots, maybe, but otherwise there are to many chances to sabotage the supply chain for building the things.

It's not impossible , if someone makes killer robots and programs them to move around and attack when they detect a human , we're done

[Asker]

yeah but the Terminator plot is like the robots take charge on their own

[JonCobretti]

I mean robots still don't have any emotions or hatred or any sort of grudge against humans , there must have been some glitch or malfunction or any reason which programmed them to kill humanity right?
