How can you figure 'never?' We don't really understand 'natural intelligence' yet, so who's to say that a bunch of binary switches can't manage what a big wad of neurons can?

And I don't know if 'mankind' would be the ones to 'create' it... I'm curious as to what will happen when computers start programming other computers, even if they're just trying to use new routines at random. Theoretically, that would accelerate development, increasing the chances of 'hitting' on something new...

(I hope that doesn't sound stupid! :o)
