According to those from the dystopian future in The Terminator, the SkyNet villain is a kind of calculating and cold artificial intelligence that strives to achieve a single goal: the destruction of humanity. However, the way it acts in James Cameron's sci-fi/horror hybrid film The Terminator can best be described as overconfident and short-sighted.Despite knowing exactly what the future will look like and who the ancestors of human resistance are, SkyNet only sends a T-800 machine to assassinate Sarah Connor. This may be an unforgivable mistake in the movie, but SkyNet has made the same mistake in every other installment of The Terminator series.
