I don't know too much really about the threat of the Terminator. I welcome a robot into my house to do chores and do all sorts. Why would I assume that is then going to turn around and strangle me with my own bedroom sort of thing? That's not where my mind goes with any of this stuff. When it comes, I don't think it will be, oh, I wish AI wasn't doing all this stuff for me. It'll just be like your little AI helper to do all the stuff you don't want to do. And I'm a huge believer in the dawn of the completely customizable age and AI is no different.
