This will never happen. More data is always good, even if the data is crappy. Crappy data can be discovered and thrown away. If you have to plow through one million bad ideas to find one good one, you still found a good one. For the forseeable future, GM's will have brilliancies that computers do not find. >Will the competition between >programs be the only driving force for software improvements?

There may be a revolutionary advancement in hardware. >Or will time >handicap games versus humans become common? People can do whatever they like. Trying to predict what that will be is precarious at best.
