People tryly misunderstand the historical direction this evolution is taking
place in.  It is not heading toward the evolution of intelligent human-like
machines per se (have you all forgotten about overpopulation?) but rather
it's heading toward the evolution more intelligent controllers and more
direct connection between them and the human brain.

This evolution will not stop until the Ultimate User Interface is completed --
the direct link between the brain and the intelligent machine.  At this point
we will have such intimate contact between our brains to the artificially
created intelligence that we will perceive it as a part of ourselves, not as
part of an Alien mechanical intelligent species.  Thus our own brains will
take a instantaneous and momentous quantum leap forward in evolution with the
unanticipated synergism of this potent combination.

This will happen within my lifetime.  I'll make sure of that. :)
