The idea that the future of humanity would be in the control of
complex AI systems is rather appealing.  Using the good ol' GIGO
rule, the computers would eventually decide to blow us out of 
existence (after all they will be programmed by/as military minds).
This would kill most "higher" forms of life on earth leaving the
lowliest of amoebas (sp?) to start evolution all over again.

Maybe nature wouldn't make the mistake of inventing man this time.
