I agree. Humanity is always developing and one needs to somehow develop with it. Integrate into the sphere which helps many progress. Artificial intellect is important these days. Although, many are afraid of it because it can take the place of many professions.
I have personally seen as a weakness that most people like to be spoon fed information, like things done for them... I believed this with disdain. Only now that I am more experienced, do I realize how important it is to simplify, add wizards, documentation, etc. Humanity must be integrating with this technology to have the best chance at fulfilling our very existence.
The things I've seen the AI do. 40 years ago they developed the neural net, how easy it would have been to train it. What can possibly make us think that this is not a reality that has already happened? I remember forum posts from the 90's exploring this technology, groups I used to be part of. In 1998 speech recognition had improved significantly, and much of the literature for this was made in the 60's. It is not too hard to fathom the neural net tech was built right into our network topology.
I've seen robots with no cpu, only nerve connections, learn by reaction alone. Considering the massive botnets on the web now a days... How smart have they become?
