The irony is that im one of the few people actually working on a path to human-level ai (though I doubt it will be very human-like emotionally).. That said I havent gotten there yet and its a ways away given current tech.

@admitsWrongIfProven ive been working on it for 20 years, im at the home stretch now.. I might be a lot closer than you realize, lets see in a year :)
@freemo Umm... human level intelligence is not in your grasp. You might have flaws, but i judge you unable to do such evil.
