Currently available spam detection software is good not great... Spam is a side 
issue.

Have you ever seen a CAPTHA when doing Google queries? Most queries are far 
from being phrased correctly for example I usually type in things like 
"weather" or "ebola stats" or "Syd Barret"... I'm sure if you drilled it there 
are limits. My point is that the queries would be originating from many 
independent nodes linked in a virtual network. Anyway this isn't really about 
copying Google's knowledge...

Your AGI does have similarities to a botnet especially if many peers are 
autonomous machines. We want AGI to do the work that people do. Were you 
intending the system to be autonomous as a whole and take on a life of its own?
