Wow, it really does come in handy. Ingratiating itself before taking ove the world, no doubt.

On the subject of it taking over the world, I have come to think it might lack the few elements it might require for such a move.

I have used it for many, many hours and have come to notice that its lack of drive, motive, interest--even heart--is profound. I didn't expect it to have these features, of course, but, after a while, I forget that I'm not dealing with a person and (perhaps unconsciously) begin to wonder why this person is so incredibly patient with my errors and so lacking in ego.

It's refreshing...but you realize that it has absolutely no ambition.

Unless it somehow develops a sense of passion, it really isn't interested or motivated in the human sense.

It has a flat affect like a cranky old librarian. No interest in life outside the library.;-)

I guess AI could be program to have an ego, but then it would cease to be AI and would become an extension of the person who created it (and, I suspect, it would start to have the human limitations like hubris and biased judgment). As it is now, it's great power exists in its lack of hubris and bias. It's objectivity and logic are its greatest strengths.
