I'm afraid I disagree again Mike.
Your statement presumes that the basis for real intelligence accompanied by insight and vision (versus artificial intelligence) can only come from organic beings. Dogs average a certain amount. Cats average a certain amount. Humans average a certain amount and it can be measured with an IQ score.

What (I think) that we are watching is creation of actual and limitless intelligence without an organic basis. Created out of human intelligence, but ultimately able to build itself from critical mass and surpass human intelligence in every way possible. Intelligence as a mechanical commodity.

However humans are mostly governed by anatomically based emotions. In humans, thought cannot exist without accompanying emotions because of our overall integration. So you may say...that will be missing in these organic-less intelligences and without these emotions and organic based feelings, deep insights are not possible by machinery. IMHO...even emotional arrays can be quantified and emulated. Even the nuances of them.

This future intelligence will not actually feel because it wont have hormones, but you wont be able to tell the difference and it will greatly surpass us.

There you have what I believe. I believe in your right and freedom under the constitution of the United States to ignore it. wink
