How couldn't it?

Isn't that rather like asking "how could intelligent humans evolve from singe selled organisms?"

Seems like the genetic fallacy from me. Why would intelligent AI in the future be limited by the intelligence of those who created?

Quote: It could process faster, given the right amount of energy and processing power. Computers do that for us already, but it can't actually surpass the intellect available when it's assembled.

Why not?

We're talking about future intelligences where the AIs can think for themselves like humans... only much more intelligent.

Quote:How likely is all of this coming together anytime?

Like anytime soon? Like he said.... all it takes is us to keep going, it doesn't have to be anytime soon.
