It's literally the comment you responded to. Either way, Skynet isn't just "machines that hurt people". In the world of Terminator, Skynet is the hyper-intelligent, self-aware AI that facilitates the surreptitious takeover of humanity's technology. Saying llms will ever remotely come close to that demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of what the technology is and can do.
actual ai is controlled by rogue oligarchs to facilitate a take over of humanity's technology. it's not just machines that kill people in a vacuum either.
in practice, for us down here, it's already acting like skynet in many ways.
