Very liked this article. In short it say that computer will be never so smart as
human and human will be never surpassed by creature that itself created.

Only reason for my happiness I see more in psychological side of me, as human,
that in pure logic. Who will not like to see himself as unique and impossible to
imitate crature? Everybody! About the conclusion that computer created by human
could never be over its initial creator, this is a tricky one. If one day
squirrel will ask itself one human question: Can some machine, created by me,
start jumping from tree to tree like squirrel? Or can some machine overcome
squirrel by flying over entire forest? Response will be categorical, no! No way!
Partially because it is natural for every animal to think that it is unique and
created by God. In the same time making the airplane is too greate project for
squirrel thinking capacity. Beyond its imagination as well, after continuous
cuts in public education, done by federal gouvernment, during the last 10 years.
