If however, you honestly think you will get a full auto bot to out perform a human then you are either very arrogant, or very stupid.

I had made up my mind that I wasn't going to answer any flame comments, but yours... I can't handle.

I read somewhere that within 50 years, a single desktop computer will have the same computational power of a human brain. Albeit, it will not have the same intelligence, but nonetheless the power will be there. You suggest that this will never happen, at least within our lifetimes. You are wrong.

Calling people names because you don't believe they can succeed is not the way that humanity innovates, the way we move forward. I think that someone who even tries this challenge, regardless of success or whether they use a library or not, regardless of whether they succeed or not, is going to be better off in the long run.

You claim someone who thinks their programming can outperform a human is either "arrogant" or "stupid". I would prefer to call them "hopeful" and "persevering".
