So how does The Terminator fit into all this?

I don't know about this, but Harlan Ellison sued the studios over "Terminator," and you'll now notice that during the credits, there is an acknowledgement of HE's works.

I guess that both are similar in that we build a better machine, the machines take over, and start killing people.

The whole claim rests on her submitting the original work to the filmmakers and their acknowledgement of receipt.
