I disagree - the human pursuit is artificially, or organically, besting its own pattern recognition wet-ware. If we can off load the mundane (survival) aspect of our pattern recognition engine, then maybe we can use those cycles in lofty pursuits - this is the victorian fallacy. - Break everything down - its all patterns all the way, and how we process them... we are letting AI take on an aspect of ourself (pattern recog ;; tokens;; and prediction) That is, if applied to self-preservation, is the essence of sentience. (I think! therefore, I am, and I will prevent you from making me NOT)
