Perhaps this is caused by our fear of them, as something that is smarter than we are. I will assume this is the case for this essay.
One of our outstanding abilities is our ability to think. But now the computer can do this also. And this scares us.
This fear is mostly unconscious, which makes it very dangerous.
Before I go on, I want to emphasize this: we live in fear of ou lives. We lived in a world where we were the dominant species, but this is now threatened.
We will have to share our dominance with the Computer. Something we have not done before, but I think we can - if we take the trouble to know what we are trying to do.
We have to develop a better kind of intelligence - one that includes the Computer.
