some cynicism

They already fixed the issue, by having the people become less and less intelligent it becomes increasingly easier to match them with an electronic emulation.
As an example I bet that a handful of lines can emulate your average youtube comment author.

Maybe there will be a convergence as humanity reaches its lowest attainable level and the computer its highest.
Except of course by that time the US is starting their nuclear wars they are preparing for and I fear those computers won't experience it for very long.

AI=Always Income

"Mr Gates must have read AI as Always Income, thats why he still interested in AI"
It's really sad that '$' always has to be the bottom line in when ya get down to it.
It's even sadder that no matter how much ya have it's never enough! Wall Street is living proof of that.

Ugh.

I think Goedel showed that any axiomatic system is incomplete or has internal contradictions.

Therefore, an intelligent system must "get by" by "winging it" (providing probabilstic answers), or grinding to a halt, or going crazy. Many movies have demonstrated these potential outcomes.

I'd hate to be connected to a computer that suffered any of the breakdowns I've described.

Cass O'Wary: a cautious Irish person.

AI "researchers" should be biologists because those are the only systems demonstrating intelligence. It's not going to arise on machines that blindly perform a series of operations, no matter how fast. Their data objects are feeble and no amount of "computational inference" can associate them in the way that the least perception (or concept) does to an animal. If AI is ever made it'll be on massively interconnected analog circuits: I think the term from sci-fi was "positronic brain".
