>      Artificial intelligence, it seems, has a PR problem.  While
>    it's true that today's machines can credibly perform many
>    tasks (playing chess, driving cars) that were once reserved
>    for humans, that doesn't mean that the machines are growing
>    more intelligent and ambitious. It just means they're doing
>    what we built them to do.  The robots may be coming, but they
>    are not coming for us--because there is no "they."  Machines
>    are not people, and there's no persuasive evidence that they
>    are on a path toward sentience.
