Now scientists are claiming that a computer has 'discovered' Newton's laws by itself.http://blog.wired.com/wiredscience/2009/04/newtonai.html
But the problem with AI is that it doesn't worship. It has no god. If someone programed the computer to think of it's inventor as a god - the computer would actually begin the process of "thinking" of a way to figure out what 'god' is. The computer might 'dream' of deleted programs. It might have visions or hear the voices of it's programmers. Since the search for it's 'god' would lead to frustration - it would create better and better definitions of it's 'god' and it's relationship to it.
Would the computer be wrong in viewing some dude at JPL as it's 'god'? Nope, it was programmed to think this. Would the first programmer meet a parallel definition (creation, maintenance, answers) of a 'god'? Sure. The computer would then assign a value to all known things - until it gets to itself. It would them begin to wonder "What is 'self'?".
The AI would then begin to 'talk' to other godless computers in an effort to find a path to it's 'god' or a suitable emissary - kind of like Haley Joel Osmett's character in the movie AI being driven by his 'faith' in the Pinocchio tales of the Blue Fairy.
You wanna' see AI really take off - let it worship.
