In the early days of AI, scientists thought they would be able to build an intelligent computer by the end of the 20th century. This raised various fears about computers eventually taking over the world, and human beings replaced by robots.
Not only this did not happen yet but we are very far from this!
But what is even worse is that we are now following a somewhat opposite trend. There are many tasks at which humans are far better than computers, but instead of trying to build better algorithms for these tasks, people are now trying to find ways to better make use of human intelligence, or rather to automate this usage!
Two examples of this: Luis von Ahn's "Artificial artificial intelligence" and Amazon's "Mechanical Turk".
Luis von Ahn has designed a couple of internet games whose purpose is to make players perform useful tasks such as labeling images. Amazon is taking this to the industrial scale (although not as a game anymore) by allowing people to design programs which include calls to web services which are actually executed by paid humans (e.g. your program calls "translate(text)" and the text is sent to someone who translates the text and return the result)!
Update (21/12/2006): I found a related article in the Boston Globe, citing other examples of the same kind, such as Mozes Mob, a cell phone Q&A service powered by humans.
I believe its not reasonable to evaluate write-up intelligence with human being intelligence. I don't concur using the author that its the failure of synthetic intelligence also it is accomplishing its perform but will carry time to attain greatest level.

This is going to be a great deal of fun, which is one of the things I love about both shows - the sense of playfulness with the genre. Seems like they're going to make good use of Fargo's history of working with AIs with personality issues, a nifty choice to hang a plot around. Looking forward to it!

I have to agree on this"In the early days of AI, scientists thought they would be able to build an intelligent computer by the end of the 20th century. This raised various fears about computers eventually taking over the world, and human beings replaced by robots.
Not only this did not happen yet but we are very far from this!I would like to laud the effort of the writer, very informative indeed.

I really do miss the old 2d adventure game and am happy to see Himalaya studio's trying to bring it back. It takes the 'interactive storytelling' element in, and presents an unreal world that is nothing like ours. Myst is still one of the most best games out there... I know others would disagree. But I'd exchange action for atmosphere and imagination any day.

I believe failure is the key of success because you will never repeat that mistake that was the reason of your failure..
