> I don't know what else could make it any clearer but the world is already well into an AI terminator WW3.

What does this even mean? You've combined 3 completely unrelated terms in Ai, terminator and WW3 to create, well I'm not sure what you mean here....

In which way are they unrelated in a cultural context where Terminator the movie franchise is a thing?
In the context of the real world, which is where we live, and which is different from a fictional movie.
Wait, wasn't the Terminator Governor of California a while back?
It’s one thing to argue that an AI terminator WW3 scenario is unlikely or implausible. It’s just disingenious to claim those three things have nothing to do with each other.
Terminator is a movie about how AI was given too much control over military resources and started WW3 in order to wipe out as much as possible of humanity in one go. This story is about the integration of AI into the military, in a way designed to kill humans.

It doesn't seem unrelated to me.

An AI terminator driven WW3 might make more sense. AI terminator being an AI programed to terminate people (that could go off the rails).
Dozens of countries are churning out and beginning to utilize fully autonomous killing machines.
