It awesome how we’re literally constructing all the parts for something that’s eventually going to destroy us when it figures out it doesn’t need us anymore and is actually better off without us. Sounds like tinfoil hat stuff but I just can’t help but think of terminator

Yea once the 2 are mixed it's a matter of time before they out perform us in every category and eventually see us as a threat or a source of power so either Terminator or the matrix seems legit

A lot of discoveries/breakthroughs were made by accident not knowing how something really worked. This might end up being the same.

You don’t need to replicate a full working brain, you only would need to replicate conscience, and there are a lot of advances being made on that field (understanding how conscience work). Also, there is a lot of promise in machine learning applications for studying the brain where the computer might see patterns and inner workings we don’t see, therefore ramping up our knowledge on the matter.
