He's a troublemaker, sure, but who doesn't dream of growing wings and breaking out of their cage?

3. What might a machine think

5. reality is not only stranger than we imagine - reality is stranger than we can imagine

6. If it is intelligent, it has to have the ability to learn.

No doubt it will have an internet connection. Which means it will learn from trolls, flamers, and all the internet crazies out there. Look what happened to Tay, Microsoft's test AI they put on Twitter. Within hours it turned into a racist, Nazi-quoting conspiracy theorist. If it could have, it would have gone all Skynet on us.
