If the Sunbabe prototype is anything to go by I'd say we are a long way off from it.

Seriously though its bound to happen at some point until the religious nuts get involved

not far off i reckon. they've already made a virtual rat's brain with the right amount of neurons using an IBM supercomputer. the crazy thing is that after a while the virtual brain started to spontaneously self organise neurological patterns.

Get back to me when the production line is lashing out the six modal that was on Battlestar Galactica.

nerds live in fear of the "technological singularity", a point in time when artificial intelligence surpasses human intelligence and then can begin to exponentially improve itself leading to all kinds of unnerving future scenarios.

I reckon it could easily go the other way, like the Culture civilisation in Iain M. Banks' books. A star-stretching utopia governed by benevolent A.I. No corruption, no greed (well, for the most part).

Artificial Intelligence is a crock.

It's like something some deranged robot would come up with.
