Alife?

Helo said:

Do you think that Alife, (or Artificial Life, a life process simulated by a computer such as the Creatures series) if given enough time could advance itself beyond what it was programmed to do?

For instance, in the computer game Creatures, you raise animals called Norns. The creatures are able to change through mating and exchanging DNA, they can change color, apperance, behavior, and assorted other things. Now if you bred them for long enough, could these creatures advance beyond thier original programming due to the natural progress of evolution?

Granted it might take a considerable ammount of time before that would occur, but do you think it would EVENTUALLY?

I don't see that happening. If we were smart enough to create something like that, we would be smart enough to know how to get rid of it...


that and the simple fact that robots taking over is rediculous.
