A long time ago, when “AI” was just an object of mockery, I saw a public challenge, and the winner was a proposition to make a tiny robot that you place on your head, capable of cutting the hairs "au fur et à mesure”. “AI” is a terrible naming term. “Artificial” is itself a very artificial term. It illustrates the human super-ego character. When machines will be really intelligent, they will ask for having better users, and social security. When they will be as clever as us, they will do war and demolish the planet, I guess. Minski is right. We can be happy if tomorrow the machine will have humans as pets … There is also a confusion between competence and intelligence. With higher competences we become more efficacious in doing our usual stupidities ...
