No. The movies get it all wrong. There won't be terminators and rogue AIs.
What there will be is AI slop everywhere. AI news sites already produce hallucinated articles, which other AIs refer to and use as training data. Soon you cannot believe anything you read online, and fact checking will be basically impossible.
I agree with the slop part but you can't say the movies get it all wrong if it hasn't gotten to the point where it can be proven or disproven yet.
The movies depict actual AI. That is, machines/software that is sentient and can think and act for itself.
The future is going to be more of the shit we have now- LLMs / “guessing software”.
But also, why ask the question if you think the answer can’t be given yet?
Opinions can be given not the definitive answer.
