   I think comparing todays gaming AI to what can exist even 20 years
from now is not seeing the full potential.  The AI you see in games are
basically a set of Algorithms designed to simulate logical thought.
True AI, at something approaching human level, won't exist until
artificial neural networks get more advanced.
