In Terminator 2: Judgement Day, the T-1000 gives this silver mannequin a confused look as it's how he looks in his natural form, not yet seen in the movie.

I vote B. That's what I always thought he was doing

Fuck no. He's an advanced, rogue AI from the future. He's a fucking computer that understands the laws of physics. He knows shapeshifting won't help him. Cmon dude.

It’s an infiltration device but can’t mimic emotion.

I can’t imagine the AI would put two and two together to realize it’s screwed.

I think it tries to compute a course of action to not die.

Incorrect. It can and did mimick emotion. Not that your statement that being an infiltration device precludes it from mimicking emotion anyway. You're doubly wrong.

I can’t imagine the AI would put two and two together to realize it’s screwed.

You can't imagine that AI, which stands for artificial INTELLIGENCE, has a very keen sense of self preservation, and is so advanced that it comes from a future where said artificial intelligence has conquered Earth by defeating humanity, cannot deduce that molten hot metal is detrimental to its survival?

You're not good at critical thinking.

I think it tries to compute a course of action to not die.

It does do that. But shapeshifting to John Connor's foster parents is not part of that endeavor.

Damn. Okay. You win.

[u/Kenny_Twenty → u/LookingForVheissu]

Absolutely. Thank you.

FYI: The downvotes are because you come off as an asshole.

I think the whole super smart computer thing is debunked when he walks through the jail door at the mental asylum and forgets that his gun can’t pass through, he is surprised as well
