1st Artificially Intelligent Adam & Eve Created

The rise of the robots hasn't resulted in a murderous rampage quite yet, but it has reaped an enormous toll on low-level jobs.  Assembly lines, farms, factories - the machines have taken over millions of man-hours, but now the scientists have surpassed those systems and begun to make themselves obsolete.  Because Adam is online - and he's a scientist.

UK researchers have hooked up an experiment-designing program to all the automated equipment needed to do its own lab work.  This isn't arrays of repetitive tasks, although Adam can do that no problem, this is real science.  The Adam system was basically told "go look at yeast" and successfully theorized, experimented, analyzed and refined its results from start to finish.  Other automated assistants have the humans coming back asking "Did you do what I told you?"  Adam is asked "What did you do?"

The system is completely self-starting, only needing human fleshbags to bring supplies - and not to sound alarmist, but some day it's going to work out that other machines are far better at that.  There's even an electronic Eve, an upgraded system built by the same researchers using their experience with Adam, their improved skills, and apparently no sense of impending doom or biblical metaphor whatsoever.

Summary:  An artificially intelligent Adam and Eve already exist, and are in charge of a cyber-genetics laboratory.  Somebody needs to make a movie about this immediately - if they want to make money before the real deal kills us all.

They won't try to kill us unless we threaten the yeast... Don't threaten the yeast!

Adam & Eve - what about someting more colorful like say Izanagi & Izanami ( Too obscure ? )

Gotama & Kwannon ?

Anyway, I guess we're supposed to talk about A.I. & the coming of Skynet or something now, right ?

[por-stair]

That's right! A program that is just an automaton to a host computer is no fret.
A walking, talking cyborg or android and your delving into a higher plain of existence. This is where more than decision making is brought into play and the scientist must be Divine Maker.

Who's the snake in this story and what apple will it offer Eve?

[EvilCosmicMonkeyfrom Knoxville]

Maybe - All this has happened before - In the Twelve Colonies !!!

That show had a heckuva lot about A.I., the Cylons weren't completely evil, & some humans were greedy, corrupt p***ks. Think there's a moral in there somewhere.....

if that robots so smart, howcome i could still beat it in a chugging contest?

Well so long as the robots adhere to the laws of robotics like they listen to our perfectly written windows software....we are all fuckin dead

[Snake]

We can't yet create the perfect software required for a fully functional "3 laws" type of machine behavior routine. Ironically we probably can't write such a perfect program at all, including windows, without the help of at least a pseudo-thinking machine.

Of the purple lotus, I see much possibility. I'd like to take a crisp clean bite! Save as an observation program. ..What was that?
A snake? Sorry. Sorry.
