Thank you! It seems to me that the only people preaching about the AIpocalypse are either those who know nothing about it, or over ambitious unrealistic zealots. Strong AI is not on any horizon any time soon. The best thing you'd expect out of an AI lab these days is a marginally better translator or planning algorithm or somesuch. Worthy endeavours, but not civilization killers.
