terminator, here we come

It seems the newest generation of "smart weapons" will soon be able to operate without human supervision.  They will be able to pick and choose from a menu of targets and no operators will be able to override the choice.  If this sounds like the beginning of the end for humanity, at least as far as warfare is concerned, I would have to agree.  It is amazing how predictive science fiction is of our future.  With the increase of artificial intelligence to greater than our own, it is only a matter of time before our machine overlords decide the meat puppets are a nuisance and take matters into their own hands.
