Artificial Intelligence

I want to understand why so many people are against the idea of machines taking control over mankind. If machines become so advanced that can wipe out humankind, they deserve to be the superior creatures. This is the lesson of evolution.

How do we justify our brutality against animals when we eat their flesh to survive? Justification is simple. We are intelligent and they are not as intelligent as us. Can't machines tell the same thing about us one day?

Update: Of course, this does not mean that we won't fight. No, not at all. Humanity will do all it can to remain the superior race but the truth is that we will lose the battle one way or another. The signs of defeat are evident even now. Right now, dumb machines are doing all difficult and sensitive tasks much better than us. While we cannot keep up with their extreme power of computation and mechanical precision, yet are giving more and more power to them to control our lives. In fact, our life style depends on the machine so much that we can hardly survive without them. All of this is happening while dumb machines. What happens if they become self conscious and intelligent? There are many things in this world that are against our will but we have to make peace with them. We like it or not, the future belongs to the more intelligent creatures.
