You jest, but the US Department of Defense already created SkyNet.

It does, almost, exactly what the movies claimed it could do.

The, super-fun, people working in national defense watched Terminator and instead of taking the story as a cautionary tale, used the movies as a blueprint.

This outcome in a microcosm is bad enough, but take in the direction AI is going and humanity has some real bad times ahead.

Even without killer autonomous robots.
