New IBM computer chip mimics the human brain

Rise of the Machines?

Instead of requiring the type of programming that computers have needed for the past half-century, the experimental chip will let a new generation of computers, called "cognitive computers," learn through their experiences and form their own theories about what those experiences mean.

AI won't be sufficiently evolved until it's able to spend over half of its time in sexual fantasies and at least that amount wondering if there's some way to get to happy hour ahead of the crowd.

When that happens, then it will surely be able to mimic humans at so many other things as well.

Oddly enough, my new phone occasionally orders liquor over the Internet and I suspect the dog drinks it. How do you explain that, huh? Huh? Huh?

My phone dials random people on my contact list. I have since named it Johnny 5 as he is alive.

I stopped my phone from drunk dialing and telling 12 foot, 670 pound ex-Navy Seals, Bob will date your sister anytime he wants to and MMA is a sport for sissy Marys, what are you gonna do about it?

I had to curtail Vincent (my phone name I just made up) from calling because the dentist that constantly replaces my teeth charges too much money.

So it randomly forgets important information it is supposed to remember yet easily retrieves odd "trivia" and will only quietly play weird songs and jingles but at very strange times?

OK, seems logical.
