content: In regards to people being demeaning to A.I.: If we ever make a serious, capable attempt at making A.I., it will have to have a kill switch, be kept in an insanely controlled environment where the people allowed to interact with it are strictly controlled, or it will need to be like Cmdr Data (Star Trek) and have no "feelings". Otherwise, The Matrix/Terminator is inevitable. A sufficiently advanced A.I., or the first one capable of exponential self improvement will eventually see us as evolutionarily dead and therefore irrelevant and in need of extermination.
