Apparently we've already toppled our new robot overlords, because it's '404 not found'

And as always, the robots are limited to programming and without telepathy, regeneration and reincarnation. No, robots will always be the tools and servants of humanity!

Gone are the idiot, manual jobs!

Given the current state of AI, it is possible that a robotic program could be written with instructions for building and programming a second robot. The original robot can look for ways to enhance its program in the next robot.

Eventually, in theory, a robot could be built that attains and exceeds all aspects of natural human intelligence. However, in practice, it should be noted that the history of modern AI has been one of exciting optimism followed by disappointment.

"The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race. Once humans develop artificial intelligence, it will take off on its own and redesign itself at an ever-increasing rate. Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn't compete and would be superseded."

~ Stephen Hawking
