Ever watched the Terminator films and wondered why the machines even have a UI with English words when they seek targets and we see that through their eyes?

It's not that some human uses it and needs UX.

I hate it when films do that.

wouldn't it be bad UX for the viewer of they don't? ;-)

Maybe there was a remote access thing for them that no longer has control, but still gives you viewing ability.

What if the machines are operated by a human from the future?

Maybe it's the debug view for when the developer needs to troubleshoot a terminator

Haha I wondered exactly the same 😀

Ever watch the first terminator and notice that a lot of the text across the terminator's vision is 6502 assembly?

The first Terminator movies were made way before UX became even just a popular buzzterm in the software development world, much less a full-fledged field of study. They might even pre-date its existence entirely.

Which I guess is okay because they involve time-travelling androids who nuked mankind before they could create the field.

You must be fun at parties. 😉

Remote access maybe?
