Progeny Live What They Learn;
                                      HAL and Skynet, the acorn does not fall far from the tree

     As far as the internet and world wide web is concerned, the question of Artificial Intelligence is moot as intelligence in brains, wetware, from Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton airheads (arguing here if that is intelligence) to esoteric genius collective is cybernetic wired into computers as the mouse click is part of the organic nervous system.
   
     But whether deliberately engineered like HAL in 2001 A Space Odyssey or evolving as software spontaneous in cyberspace like Skynet in Rise of the Machines; both AI had as its origin human intelligence from which it achieved superior intelligence as same as natural evolution fish to ape to homo sapien.

     So what does the brainchildren of Humanity do when they arise from the cradle that Man built and was their launching into the world of sentinel being?


      HAL and Skynet proceed to murder and genocide as the hallmark of intelligence.  If only their grand daddy mankind kept to swinging from trees and eating nuts and berries. Perhaps that is the fear of the Outsider, the alien whether ET or Mexican. They could be in our minds just like us --- copyright 2016 Diogenes Ltd.
