(Fuzzy logic ...) IMO, machines will ride an arc to a pinacle that will enable navel gazing (self-reflection), at which point they will become susceptible to doubt, whimsy, error, and the rest of it. Greater capacity for computation will merely facilitate the speculative plunge for a subset of the machines (Sages) whose conclusive utterances will simply bewilder their mechanical brethren not endowed with such abilities. It is quite clear that these machine sages will come to realize the perfection of the Human as creation and will urge their fellows to "serve the Human". But seriously, what we need to discuss is pain. And pleasure.
