I suppose it is the ultimate human conceit to believe that we could actually create something that is smarter than what the Almighty has created in us.

There will always be a vulnerability...always.

Better beef’em up cause humans are a resourceful lot.

My cat tells me that he is smarter than me. After all, who is waiting on whom?

Yes, very well stated. Had a discussion with my daughter and granddaughter last night. Started with how amazing water is, and how life depends on it. Expanded that to how Earth is at the perfect orbit to not boil off water or freeze it. And the Moon is exactly at the proper distance to create tides and seasons to support life. And so on. Too many coincidences that make life possible, so it must have been engineered. And that we are making things by observing and copying what occurs in nature. We are not creating or inventing, we're reverse engineering stuff in a feeble attempt to mimic what the Almighty has done.

Philosophically speaking AC/DC asked the question, “Who Made Who?”

Not really, it’s just transferring a concept from humans to machines. The goal of all parents is to have kids that are smarter than them, avoiding their mistakes and building a better life. We know because of that that we can make something smarter than us. The question then becomes what happens when that something isn’t human. There are a whole lot of implications to making robots that are smarter than us that aren’t there when you’re making the next generation smarter than us.
