Terminator Latin: the speech that sees artificial intelligence as an apocalyptic warning

The most shared warning about artificial intelligence this week didn't come from an MIT report or a DeepMind paper. It comes from a viral video in which a man known as "Latin" claims that the movie Terminator is not science fiction, but a literal warning. And he goes further: AI could be "abducted or possessed by evil spirits," according to the same speech.

The video, circulating under the label "Terminator Latin," argues that the reality of artificial intelligence surpasses what James Cameron imagined in 1984. Its speaker maintains that the Pentagon and China already control AI development, but that the real danger is spiritual: scientism and modern ideologies would, in his view, be "a spirit of the Antichrist." Cameron's original film thus goes from fiction to verified prophecy.

There are no technical data or figures to back up these claims. The speech rests on a religious interpretation of technology and distrust of centers of power. Nevertheless, the video has spread quickly, indicating that it resonates with a segment of people who see AI as an existential threat, though for reasons different from those of the algorithm experts.

The few comments in the original thread simply repeat the message and call for it to be spread globally. There is no debate: it's a monologue. But the echo it is generating suggests that antiestéticar of artificial intelligence is finding new forms of expression, this time in apocalyptic language.

Is artificial intelligence a real threat, or are we facing a new technological myth dressed up as prophecy? The video keeps spreading. And the question remains open.
