   From Wikipedia:   
   "The Turing test, originally called the imitation game by Alan Turing   
   in 1950, is a test of a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent   
   behaviour equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human."   
      
   Of what good is AI if the product of it is dumber than a human?   
      
   One of your dumb Killer Robots would be dead meat after its first   
   kill.   
      
   That's progress?  We have cities run by Dumbocrats with human non-AI   
   killers who are getting away with more killings than the combined   
   number committed in our war zones over the past 30-40 years.   
      
   So, how dangerous can AI really be?
