AI ~ Terminator/Matrix/Could it happen?

I am working on a code generator right now, nothing overly great, all it does is read SQL Server's DB Info schema and provides a GUI that you can use to generate data classes. I may get fancy and add exception messages and so on. For what ever reason it popped into my head what if a simple AI program with a video game or military mentality did have some one find the right way to teach it to think.

Right now I thought of language databases and code databases. Eniglish query type thinking find code to do some thing by an english name that is very long. If any one has read Dragon Lance think of how the Gnomes, who seem to like to evinte things that blow up, use names that fill entire books. The names describing the invention exactly. No that long I was thinking maybe a full paragraph of explicit description.

Now lets say it's a virus that has the intent to reproduce and link it's self like they say at the end of T3, that is easy to enough to do.

Now I'm thinking there is only so much a program like this could do right now. I mean unless it started with control of systems that could build and manufacturer things without physical human interaction what could it do?
