More Human Than Human

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN INTELLIGENT MACHINE.

Those boosts they're talking about have nothing to do with intelligence, programmed or otherwise, on the part of the machine. They have everything to do with human intelligent manipulation of atomic particles.

"The nanobots, he said, would "make us smarter, remember things better and automatically go into full emergent virtual reality environments through the nervous system"."

No, the nanobots will be programmed to tap into parts of our brain ALREADY IN EXISTENCE. THEY WILL NOT "MAKE" US DO ANYTHING.
And how is it even conceivable that we are PHYSICALLY CAPABLE to perform at maximum potential? How is it that the natural forces behind evolution didn't know what they were doing?

How is it that we have forgotten what defines a human being? What does define a human being? Supposedly it's the ability to think in abstract terms, but that's disputed and probably disproved in a number of areas.

Perhaps just a degree of advanced advantage over the other animals in abstract thinking...

The only way that "human level" artificial intelligence could honestly be matched is if we compiled in-depth maps of billions of brains around the globe and based AI on that. Do we have the means to build a brain from the cells up?

Am I the only one seeing the ridiculousness of predicting science, anyway?
