Regardless of if its true AI or not (I understand its just machine learning) Cameron's sentiment is still mostly true. The Terminator in the original film wasn't some digital being with true intelligence, it was just a machine designed with a single goal. There was no reasoning or planning really, just an algorithm that said "get weapons, kill Sarah Connor. It wasn't far off from an Boston Dynamics robot using machine learning to complete a task.

You don't understand. Our current AI? Doesn't know the difference between an object and a painting. Furthermore, everything it perceives is "normal and true". You give it bad data and suddenly it's broken. And "giving it bad data" is way easier than it sounds. A "functioning" AI (like a Terminator) requires the ability to "understand" and scrutinize— not just copy what others tell it without any context or understanding, and combine results.
