Machines 'to match man by 2029'

This is a bad idea, hasn't anyone seen Terminator!?! Haha.

Not to worry.

Incorporating such technology only allows human beings to make poor decisions faster and more detailed than ever before.

Will the nanobots in my brain tell me if I should putt or chip from 2' off the green, or maybe go for the soft flop shot with the lob wedge? Nah, putt it with a 7 iron or maybe that should be an 8?

Maybe they'll help me see two mirror image Deer Anters to be sculpted from two half rotten Yew braches lying on the woodland floor?

I can't see it myself...ok machines are better than humans for very specific limited operations...but their 'comfort zone' is so tight they can't think outside the box.

When the KrisDel ^TM (It's a huge corporation by 2029) auto wheel changer is changing your wheel as you drive along at 50mph, you hit a bump...it drops the wheelnuts... will it work out it can take a nut from each of the other wheels to relace 'em?

Hello Del the cat and Kris too.

Shares in the KrisDel ^TM Corporation should be fairly cheap just now.

Perhaps this is the time to purchase some.

Kind Regards....

That'll be the end of any humanity we have.

Who is going to control those nanobots?

I've read enough to know the Political/Military/Banker Consortium would like to do this right now.

Kind Regards....

Hi all,

I think there is a misunderstanding about the meaning of "intelligence"

Machines can do some things faster and sometimes more accurate than human brain, its true, just look any FEA software.

The problem is that all machines are man designed and by principle they cannot be as intelligent as man.

The implant of any "nanobot" in the brain perhaps could help it to do some type of specific things faster, but is it "intelligence"? I think the answer is NOT.

I use Windows XP OS and even a new version is in the market (Vista), and XP system is some years old, I get almost every week "critical upgrades" trying to solve some failures or weak points.

I look a bit higher than Del (Just on that moment and regarding his post) and I will begin to believe in AI when I'll be able to paint like Da Vinci and have all his abilities but with the actual background. But I think there are more possibilities that someone tries to implant me a cell phone with mp4, internet wireless connection and 30 TV channels to turn me a complete idiot.

No mention of some principles and theorems like Heisenberg, Gödel, Turing, etc.

For the shake of the truth I admit our educational system and the mass media have make that nowadays somebody are as "intelligent" as some machines, but I don't that means that machines are achieved human-level intelligence.

The one thing that will be extremely difficult to engineer is a machine to produce innovation. Implanting machines to "improve" intelligence is most likely to result in a "leveling" of the playing field, and one does not raise grains of sand to the highest level when trying to level a pile of sand...
