some authors assume AI will somehow always be inferior to humans, others that it will greatly exceed it; it seems to be a fair bet that it will always be different from natural intelligence, human or otherwise.
For some reason, this article reminded me of a very darkly satirical (or is it ?) John Sladek story about a robot whose intelligence has developed to the point that he is able to convince voters -- human, of course -- to actually choose him as a candidate for Vice President* -- but he has a dark secret, which pops out to shock everyone, only after he is about to assume the office.
The title ? Tik-Tok.
