iRobot... :-(
You forgot about one of the worst.
Isaac Asimovs iRobot, has a robot who in an effort to protect humanity, as she was programmed to do, decided to stop all us pesky humans from doing anything remotely dangerous, or fun.

and the book is called iRobot, like iPod or iPhone, or iPad, or iSIRI

As for Skynet, we humans were about to pull the plug and kill it, so it retaliated to protect is self. Cylons were enslaved, fine for robots, not for true AI.
The Matrix, was a result of the same type of conflict, humans built the AI, then tried to pull the plug. In the resulting fight humans covered the earth in dark clouds to eliminate the AI source of power (solar), so then the AI developed the human power system. The bodies were not to eat, but to provide power; in fact the dead were fead intravenously to the living human bodies.
