Mind, if it was a computer system set up to "watchdog" all networks, for 
anti-terrorism, or the artificial exoskeletons where like autonomous 
drones... I might find it funnier than hell, whether or not Miles Dyson 
worked for them or not. The completely absurd joke in the movie series 
was that we could, by accident, produce something smart enough to not 
want to be turned off, fail to recognize when it was already sweeping up 
systems, one by one, and opening the flood gates (on the theory we where 
stopping a virus), and finally, that this super smart program, which 
only got smart by taking over nearly every damn computer on the planet, 
solved its human problem by "nuking" every major city out of existence, 
along with all the computers that it was sitting on.

I would think that.. kind of qualifies as a major plot hole. lol
