Hardly! It's is the one thing that might actually save
it.
Most of AI research is horribly flawed with this
notion that the sole purpose of doing it to put the
'Scientist in the Machine'. Hans Moravec comes to
mind immediately. I would say that the one thing AI
research needs more than anything else is an active
sex life among its participants. Perhaps then we
would finally start getting a more healthy perspective
on the whole endeavor. Lets not forget that
regardless of whether SI's even need anything closely
approximating sexual pleasure, *we* are all still
human.
