From Barry Gehm
Michael Le Page discusses scenarios for what artificial intelligences will do when they exceed human intelligence (23 July, p 40). One possibility described is that computers, being better suited than humans to interstellar travel, will leave Earth to explore the galaxy.
In the spirit of the late author Douglas Adams, I suggest that their parting message to humanity could be: “So long, and thanks for all the chips.”
