<<<< You apparently are convinced that AI won't develop beyond being a "tool" for humans, I am convinced that it will>>>>

Well that is a fascinating comment. What does that statement mean to you? Where will the evolution of robots with AI go? If not a tool for humans - what will drive their development? Their adaptability? If they cease being an advantage to man - we will stop building industrial sites to manufacture them in. Don't you think that if robots go beyond being a tool for us humans that we will destroy them? Yes we do completely disagree on this. I think robots are a wonderful thing for us, another advancement in the creation of solutions to problems faced by mankind. As such they are a gift of man's creation - man's intelligence. They should be embraced not feared. Not feared because they will take jobs away from humans - which is where this discussion all started I believe.

For heaven's sake, Steve, so they will put Watson into a moving thing--then it will be a "robot"?>.

My first out loud laugh today.
