Hi @samminator

AI is such an interesting subject and this is a lovely post.

Personally, I am still unsure if AI will be able to pick up some of the very human characteristics that we have been blessed with: self-awareness, conscience, imagination and free will.

AI, for example, can make decisions within a realm by learning from similar things. Imagination though uses unrelated things to find new unrelated patterns that inspire us to find solutions to problems that aren't obvious. We seem to be a long way from that currently but who knows what might happen in the future.

Thanks for sharing. Resteemed.

I agree with you that we are a long way from achieving a fully self-aware AI but it doesn't make it impossible. In the world of AI, I've totally removed "impossibility" because each time people say "impossible", they are almost always interrupted by people doing the impossible.

Many thanks for the comment and resteem buddy

I sometimes wonder if AI will become more human or will human become more like machines.

I am more excited about the latter. Can we augment our experiences more by technology? There are some really interesting experiments in this area. For examples, non-intrusive implants that extend the senses or provide information that the brain can somehow process to augment our memory or thinking. The worrying this would be how that could then be hacked to control or brain-wash us.
