The author argues that the Terminator franchise is responsible for millions of people instinctively associating robots and advanced AI with fear and destruction, fostering anti-robot sentiment. This is observed through repetitive comments like "Terminator" and "they'll kill us" on robot-related posts. The author dislikes the movie due to its massively negative cultural impact.
