Then there's always the issue of how intelligence is defined and quantified.

Will AI ever be capable of painting a masterpiece? I wonder if AI will ever have independent, full range thinking and reasoning abilities, or if it's destined to be the yin-yang that we have to supply with creativity and soul.

Then there's always the issue of how intelligence is defined and quantified.

Will AI ever be capable of painting a masterpiece? I wonder if AI will ever have independent, full range thinking and reasoning abilities, or if it's destined to be the yin-yang that we have to supply with creativity and soul.

What is the definition of singularity in this case?

The Singularity is the technological creation of smarter-than-human intelligence.

Two points:
1) Smarter does NOT mean faster processing speeds and ability to crunch large quantities of data.
Remember the Movie Rainman? Dustin Hoffman had significant computational abilities, yet his IQ was very low.
2) Smarter does mean an ability to learn very quickly and to think creatively in ways we cannot imagine. But when technology creates this aspect, smarter-than-human intelligence, it is clear it will be coupled with the first aspect as well, extreme processing speed.

Since intelligence is also coupled with creativity, there is no doubt something as simple as painting artistically will be a challange easily overcome.

The impact of the singularity on our future is something we can only imagine, but it will be a humanity changing event the likes of which we have yet to see.

And it is coming mates, have no doubt. AND I will probably see it in MY lifetime!
