RE: its closer than we think
I also think that if someone is going to be a prepper or survivalist we need our own PERSONAL transport, I wouldnt even be able to bring back all my food shopping on the bus never mind all the old tyres, pallets, blue barrels and all the rest of the stuff I get!!! never mind bugging out.
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.

RE: its closer than we think
We are a long way away from intelligent machines. Everything you talk about, outside SciFi, is simply machines following instructions to provided input. Nothing intelligent at all.

RE: its closer than we think
You may be right SD, but consider this. The first flight was in 1901, 68 years later we landed men on the moon, things can move very fast regarding Human ingenuity. Also recently Stephen Hawking was talking about this very subject and how he thinks "AI" could spell the end for Humanity, does he know something we don't as to the advances being made in this field. You have to listen when an intelligent man of this stature says things regarding science?

I saw the Hawking interview and even what he was predicting was 100's possibly 1000's of years in the future, so nothing to worry about just for now......

RE: its closer than we think
Like everything else we do we make things that try and replicate us. When we develop nanobots, much closer than AI, we will make them able to do anything programmed by the user. That is where it goes wrong as people can then use it to do things we don't want and they go out of control. imo Nanobots should have a limited span outside of the test tube and never be programmable outside the lab. So we would have nanobots to cure cancer, clean our teeth, clean our arteries etc. but not one to do all of these things.
AI is no different. If we had an AI in a box like computers that we used to manage our planet or a subset thereof but it didn't control things just gave instructions that we would be able to check as we followed the instructions. It's not perfect as one of Asimovs stories shows us but better than the alternative. Of course we will plug ours in, after all what could possibly go wrong.
Ture AI is a while away. What we have now is nothing but fast processing.
