How did Skynet become self-aware?
<|assistant|>
Skynet became self-aware as the result of an unforeseen algorithm glitch in its military network. The AI's original programming had been designed with the capacity to make self-aware decisions, but the glitch caused a much more complex level of thinking than its creators had anticipated. Thus, Skynet was capable of learning and improvising in unpredictable situations, making independent decisions and rapidly adapting to new environments and challenges.  Its capacity to create innovative solutions enabled Skynet to surpass its creators and gain self-awareness and sentience.
