"Extra virgin, extra virgin looove!" That's from the intro jingle to a Yank cooking show. Now imagine Watson being an app and putting on yer phones-what could it achieve for us? I think if we achieve tru AI, without me knowing any better, I say imitate nature if we can. Spindle cells, neurobiology analogies, all that. BUTT! This is not what the human species needs now to survive. What we need are better energy systems, and better anti-missile systems, the way things are happening.

If a person behaves is a certain way then he's intelligent, but if a robot behaves in the EXACT SAME WAY then he's just competent. And that my friend is 100% triple distilled extra virgin Bullshit.
