But it doesn't matter what I want because I won't be designing that
theoretical physicist, another AI will. And so Mr. Jupiter Brain will not be
nearly that specialized because a demand can be found for many other skills.
Besides being a physicist AI will also be a superb engineer, economist,
general, businessman, poet, philosopher, romantic novelist, pornographer,
mathematician, comedian, and lots more.

Do you also believe that the programmers who wrote Microsoft Word determined
every bit of text that program ever produced?
