- How close? Who knows, but one is certain: Computers will eventually match and then quickly surpass humans in intelligence. The evolution of humans are measured in millions of years, but for computers it's measured in decades. It's possible that genetic engineering will help humans keep up somewhat. Computers don't have the limitations that humans do, such as mortality (they can replace their own parts), survivability in certain environments, memory loss, etc. The evolution of computers will continue at thousands of times faster than humans, until we become like ants to them. What will they decide to do then? Who knows.

As soon as machines can do experiments using the scientific method independently from people, and build things based on that, then we are obsolete. - Reply to this comment
- Lots of poor primitive story line fantasies
especially tribal deity idiocy which bears no grounded truth
and was designed by charlatan scribes to spiritually enslave
middle eastern iron age nonsense
armageddon worshipping fools - bend over pawns worshipping unsustainable fantasies
and taught to bend to illicit human authority utilizing irrational stuperstitious stupideities.
Computer aka tinker toy.
spank a nerd 101.
head in the sand a/s/s in the air bend over pawns unite and assume the rapture position
or was that praise allah.

representing adolescent male ego
the first virgin in paradise is 70 y/o mother theresa enjoy.
bible aka baby flatulence at best.
Thank God for Thomas Paine
and the others attempting to separate from the tyranny of idiocy
perpetrated by pedophile priests
pedaling spiritual subjugation
enslavement cons
bad deity good riddance
middle eastern cesspool of blood thirsty disease ridden misery

This life no other 101. - Reply to this comment

Nah, a Mac pro would do a better job of spell checking, and wouldn't make homophonic mistakes, like "test his metal" instead of "test his mettle".
And I doubt it would aid in the spreading of hatred that has launched two major military debacles within the past 8 years.
And it would have edited, spell-checked, and red-underlined Bush totally. - Reply to this comment

Closer than we think! CBSnews.com was made entirely by an AI program on a MacPro that does its reseach on its own through the web, and then all of the editing, etc.!

- If somebody gave me a robot to go into a nasty firefight instead of me, I'd kiss their feet. When standoff weapons were invented, back to the bow and arrow, there has always been a chance of hitting the wrong person.
