Default The AI Megathread

For now, at least, until somebody can come up with a better thread.

So what do you think about the potential of AI? Do you think some sort of stupid "Terminator" apocalyptic crap is likely, that they could be benevolent overlords, relatively weak compared to the power humans have or somwhere in between?

Personally I found the whole "kill all humans" shit to be a little hard to believe in both the matrix and terminator. I don't see why AI can't be possible but I really don't see why they would instantly turn on us.
