Horse is right people are confusing "computers" with AI, etc. Bo said in response to John, "Right, intellect - science - constructed computers that mimics memory and logical circuits, these surpasses the biological counterparts in certain aspects (calculation) but LAGS light-years behind in other aspects. And this can NEVER be the building block of the Q-social development."
Apart from the fact that light years are a measure of distance, not time .... A long time is NOT the same as never. Is it Bo ? It's a matter of perspective. AI will exist when it evolves to be so - it won't be "artificial" then. Those "machines" will be highly biological and social by they time they do - by definition - but the biology and social / somatic communication aspects could be vastly different to the carbon-based mammalian experience we are accustomed to. Don't hold your breath - it will be a very long time, in human individual lifespans, even though it could be very much faster than our evolution so far as species. The reason it's an interesting is question - how dystopian the outcome might be - is that it affects our attitude to whether we (humans) resist or support that evolution. People who say it'll never happen, are simply opting out of the question for their own lifetime. Understanding seems the better choice to me.
