Very good point's.
It's funny how our logic limits us from thinking out of the box, Without it we would probably go crazy
I'm certain that technology will let us explore vast amounts of our universe in the future, If we can create artificial intelligence we will also have the knowledge at our disposal, Computers today are already superior in many ways to our own brain.
But will it be a good idea with AI?, First of all we would create a knowledge far superior from what our own minds could comprehend, And no matter how much control wer'e in we wouldn't be able understanding it completely.
Think of this, If computers had their own fully functional AI (Without limits)
An Artificial Intelligence Developed Its Own Non-Human Language - The Atlantic
And then it told you BZZZZZ Petty human, Nothing do exist, It's just an empty vacum with nothing in it, BZZZZ now i will destroy human kind for being so dumb.
