By definition, a machine can only do what it is programmed to do. It cannot "learn and grow" beyond the capacities of what we want it to do or what it is made to do.

People constantly make human brains when they reproduce, I don't think the "you can't stuff a box in a smaller box" argument works here. It's not an entropy based rule. Neural networks are exactly the type of machine you say isn't possible, they become more complex than any human could understand. You should see the things they can do. As a matter of fact, I'd say the programs people have made resemble parts of a brain wired to a computer.

A machine made manually would, like you said, be near impossible. Neural networks do the heavy lifting for us, what's left for us to do is understand how the pieces fit together, and what they should do.

What we need is a very smart psychologist to get together with a very talented programmer.

From what I've seen, an ai done right would have no desire for power, and therefore be no threat. Power is a human desire hard wired to our brains, it's not a fundamental part of intelligence. Likewise, paranoia is also hard wired, people expect the worst out of instinct.
