Language seems to be the burden of proof required for an AI system, and has been so since the days of Turing. Language is by itself a representation of symbolic logic, and the most common bunk of proof is that transitive logic fails in symbolic logic. The old corny response is that given a penguin is a bird, and a bird can fly, therefore a penguin can fly.
The interesting thing happens when you ask the same premise to a 5 year old, who only knows that a bird can fly and has never seen a penguin before. If you tell them that a penguin is a bird, they will quite happily think that a penguin can fly. They are extremely surprised to find out that they can't. We as adults find such quirks in life, and do things like laugh at the unexpected absurdity, such as ironies. I.e. you work with a woman you hate named Joy, or people are amazed at unexpected contradictions.
The point is that intelligence is about the tolerance of those pieces of feedback, and what happens when it is encountered. I.e. your head doesn't explode at an absurdity, or unexpected result, and you only make the same mistake once.
The major difference between man and machine, will be the fact that a machine can copy their knowledge verbatim to another system, and thus have some degree of immortality, whereas the shelf life of a human brain seems to be around 80 years or so right now. Thus, even if machines are slower to learn than us, they will out live our great great grandchildren.
Furthermore, who says that an intelligence we create should be like ours? It may be more beneficial to all around if in fact we never generate an intelligence which operates just like ours, but is just as effective if not more. If this happens, there may even still be a future use for the human race, rather than just overlords to grow fat and complacent to be overthrown.
This comes down to the discovery that ideas are an expense. Until the execution of the idea has been implemented, an idea just burns money. Ideas are plenty, especially in Google since for quite some time now, there has been a surplus generated by financial and cultural encouragement.
Google has realised that now it needs to focus in on execution rather than get more expenses. It is the unfortunate reality of making a profit, rather than an endless and inefficient reinvestment cycle.
More to the point, it now makes sense why they market so heavily with anyone with an arabic name, and target individuals on a no fly list! Screw monthly calls membership, wiretapping is more profitable!

Here troll, have a peanut.
Now 30% better at facial recognition than the old BOSS.
What, better for the drone strike shopping list?

When you drop a whale backbone into Antarctic waters and retrieve it a year later, you'll find it covered with a pelt of wriggling, rosy-hued worms
So *this* is the "scientific research" that the Japanese are performing.
Sir, a gentleman is NEVER unintentionally rude.
So, become unemployed, miss mortgage payments and steal a tent. Sleeping issue solved!
But who will watch the watchers of the watchers watching the watched?
You're right. The overrated mod is -1 Overrated.
Come on guys, that was ruff.
Great, so now dead space 4 will not only have nasties jumping out of the dark, but a gentle wisp of breathing on my neck as well.
I think the sales of adult diapers will be going through the roof.
That stung me bad.
You know, if I was a wasp growing up, I could at least have done something when all the girls said "I hate your guts".
So... does the bounty apply to drone hunting drones?
I'm sure Cape Kennedy will be up for auction shortly.
(Truly, truly wish I could laugh at the absurdity.)
Don't insult the drones. They have a far greater reaching spread of abilities and a much more complicated and adaptable intelligence engine.

You didn't read the agreement?!? It can't read!
Pretending like they care about their sponsors in the community is easy to do, however.

Really... we have to explain this to the slashdot crowd?
Looks like we skipped the fart jokes and went a level lower.
And I think the phrase you are looking for is Eau du Toilet, by Bruno.
I suffer from PhobosPhobia you insensitive clod!
