Personally, as Griff can vouch for, I've been researching the possibility of Alcohol Enhanced Intelligence™ (desperately seeking the Ballmer peak). But it's not working out quite as expected.
Oh well, guess I just have to continue trying... I think I might even have to sacrifice my weekend in the name of science

Microsoft break through in this arena with the invention of "clippy" and the XP search puppy.
Now they are more insidious, for instance visio scroll to random place when you paste. Or the ribbon bars.
Common public will not be comfortable on a PC unless it is stupid as them and there friends.

Somewhere back in the not to distant past I commented to the effect that stupidity is more difficult a problem to fix than death.
You've seen movies about 'the undead', but no one's come up with a movie about 'the unstupid'.

Perhaps we could develop a Defibrillator for the brain dead?
If nothing else, it'd be fun giving them electric shocks while testing...

That's surely one of your more redeeming qualities - you can really get into the spirit of things.

In that case stupidity cannot exist without someone stupid creating it. And I mean the mental handicap, not ignorance. The absence of potential. Or could it be that genes are partially the ones that help determine that trait along with our surroundings?
I don't think that Microsoft's AI had any problems with "genetics". It was the surroundings that were the problem. Releasing her on Twitter, I mean why not just throw kids into an ocean to teach them how to swim?

Sharks. Ocean. Kids. Need I say more?

I suspect you still refer to your child's age in months, given your dislike of children.

I have nothing against children.
And I'm planning on keeping it that way.

I don't know, it did seem to be programmed to try and be a popular-but-vacant airhead. It just repeated things that it "thought" people wanted to hear, without any ability to really think for itself or any awareness of human reactions, language, culture or history.
I don't think we have much to worry about from AI at the moment, unless the plan is to duckface-selfie us into oblivion

LOL. I think it was clear that "intentionally creating intelligence" requires intelligence.
Allowing it to happen from natural selection is "Probable".
In fact, at a certain level, I believe that Intelligence is merely pattern recognition.
The magic is the arbitrary (and extreme) complexity of the patterns we associate with intelligence.
Think about how you would communicate to a being trapped in a room with you that you are intelligent?
Assuming you do not share a "language". The mere act of pointing at various things and making a different sound for them is a pattern, and a pattern that displays a way to communicate.
Maybe tap out prime numbers (a pattern, and a complex concept).
In the end, we are bags of chemicals (mostly water), in search of patterns to fulfill our needs chemically, and mentally (one of our requirements in relationships is both resonance and dissonance. We want people who think like us, but NOT exactly like us. We want to be challenged, interested.)
And when we TRULY create this artificially... We will all be doomed. Because I believe it requires being somebody that can feel pain to have empathy, and empathy to prevent logic result that all people eventually die... so lets save them some time....

Then you have the whole debate about whose intelligence should AI be modeled after - yours, mine, the idiot down the street. Will your AI bot have a political affiliation? What affiliation will that be - yours, mine, or the idiot down the street?
Will your AI bot be religious? Will it be gay, straight, or A-sexual? Will it like bacon, or will it be a vegan?
The list of possibilities is overwhelming for sure.

I'll go out on a limb here and suggest that as a minimum starting point, Microsoft probably shouldn't model their software on Brittany Spears

I doubt that there's anyone on the planet intelligent enough to be able to write code emulating real intelligence

Sooo many problems with creating an AI. And once you unleash a "real" AI into the world, you're more or less completely at its mercy.
What I think is a much more interesting approach is figuring out how to create direct electrical interfaces with our brain and amending it's capabilities and slowly merging humans with technology. For example, when you think about 2358734 x 891723912, the answer is computed by a chip and the answer just pops into your head. Same with facts on the internet, pictures, videos, etc.
You keep advancing this technology and eventually *we" become the AI. You get the advantages of AI with the advantages of humans controlling the process. By the end, organic brains will likely be left behind and disconnected, replaced piece by piece until they are no longer needed, but the resulting AI computer will truly be an evolved form of humanity.
