I've said this before here that the AI that I meant is not the AI that's 
being developed right now. Cro-magnons cannot do the real thing because 
cro-magnons are afraid of people who are better than them. You won't see 
the real AI ever developed by cro-magnons.

You will see it developed eventually, when science and tech goes where 
they belong.

For cro-magnons, a real AI isn't "illegal" like in that story; it's 
their "enemy". They go to war with anything that's better than them.
