It controls a military drone.

It controls surgical equipment.

It’s filtering your CV before any human sees it.

It controls a robot taking care of your children.

It controls all power infrastructure, can find new exploits to build it’s own botnet and is able to reprogram firmware of devices (routers/switches/servers)

It can send press releases, emails, tweets using language similar to any user it’s read from before

Hot take: it would rather watch the Terminator and see that one robot wasn’t enough. Send em all.
