In a message dated 99-11-24 21:47:48 EST, you write:

<< Human brains have millions of years of evolution behind them. The only
 thing that makes it remotely possible to match that immense evolutionary
 investment with a few years of programming is the recursive-redesign
 capability of seed AI, reinvesting the dividends of intelligence. I
 guarantee you that the first artificial intelligence smart enough to
 matter will be a seed AI, because doing it without seed AI will take at
 least another twenty years and hundreds or thousands of times as much labor.

I agree, it will likely take longer and more labor to build a truly
impressive AI than to grow one using a seed AI.
