Slippery slope arguments are a logical fallacy.

A movie does not real life make.

The movies are actually some what in a way part of the problem ... what's the first thing children are taught when they're frightened by a movie. "That can't happen in real life, it's just a movie". So people chuckle and make jokes and it becomes this thing that can only happen in movies. Even James Cameron (director/writer of Terminator 1/2) has stated this. 

To quote another famous James Cameron film (this quote is actually a quote from real life I believe)

"This ship is unsinkable. God himself could not sink this ship ..." - human fallacy

It is still a slippery slope logical fallacy, which means it's logic that can be discarded.

The terminator movies are purely fiction, not fact. - And are not representative of a modern day A.I. model or even a future one.

If you were to believe all the "possible events" in films, you might as well not be born.

We have films where an asteroid or comet will potentially wipe out all life on Earth.
We have films where the core of the Earth has stopped spinning and will potentially wipe out all life on Earth.
We have films where aliens are invading earth and destroying all civilization.
We have films where people become undead zombies because of a viral or fungal outbreak.

This is all fiction. It's all built on a "hypothesis" aka. Someones imagination. It's not fact. It's not truth. It's not going to happen, it's a movie, plain and simple. - If anything remotely similar happens it's purely coincidental.

Conversely we have films where A.I. saves humanity, which is in stark contrast to the doomsday proposition you have put forth.

Films are not real life, detach from them, it's media designed to make money, that's it.
