[Terminator] Why is Skynet such a poor shot?

As a human I'm naturally thrilled that this is the case, but still:

Even if Skynet didn't want to/couldn't use biological or chemical weapons against our brave Resistance fighters, why are the units under it's control such poor shots with their lasers and plasma weapons?

How come most terminators seem to employ spray 'n pray tactics, instead of accurate, energy-efficient fire?

It was a last-ditch sacrifice by someone associated with the Skynet program that they corrupted the targeting algorithm.  Probably someone who was actually working with Kate Brewster's father.  Skynet has never detected the error.  It continues to load it into each successive generation of hardware.

Otherwise, the scenes would be a couple of Resistance fighters talking, then suddenly their heads explode.  We would see a silent HK drone rise above the blasted landscape 10km away and continue its patrol.
