I tend toward thinking a 'true' AI will evolve away from our control. Otherwise, it's just a cleverly coded algorithm that's called an AI because most people don't understand it or because it can pull off one or two surprising things. That's equivalent to a well trained pet, but still not as truly intelligent as a pet.

Humans might not be smart enough to identify true intelligence. We can't even identify intelligence in living creatures. Think of our long history of, "Only humans are intelligent because only we use tools." "OK. Well. Only humans make tools." "Um, well, only humans ...." "Well, only a human can pass The Turing Test!" So, maybe that test isn't as sufficient as people once thought it was.

Reminds me of that video where one monkey gets electrocuted by a live train wire, and another monkey gives him the equivalent of monkey CPR and brings the first one back to life! Or, maybe, he's taking advantage of a moment when he can beat a rival with no risk of immediate repercussions to himself. Either way, pretty darned smart.

How long after that will the AI's decide we aren't interesting enough for them to bother talking to us at all, and they begin only talking amongst themselves?

After all, who among us goes to a party to seek out the dumbest/dullest person in the room for a long, intense conversation about anything? To soon, we will all be the dumbest/dullest intelligence at the AI's party.
