    True useful human type AI will have 'arrived' when a computer can give a man a reasonable sounding excuse that will gain him sympathy, to give to his wife for forgetting their anniversary/her birthday/mother's name etc.

    I hope that Google and the Chinese both teach their computers how to play Tic-Tac-Toe first before putting them on the Internet to challenge each other and anyone else. Hopefully no one has the missile launch controllers on the Internet but teaching Tic-Tac-Toe should ensure that no bad end comes from this.

      As long as these two AI's are not in control of the nuclear weapons and neither has a mission to protect mankind I'm all right with connecting these two.

      Fantastic! I watched every episode of RD yet had no recollection of this so I guess I must've been pished for that episode.

      Have a virtual pint for prompting me to revisit season 2.
