Don't make assumptions.
I'm actually an appliance repairman.
Making dinosaurs from mosquitoes is not the same as implementing new technology.
You can say the same thing about the first ape that picked up the first rock and beat his enemy to death with it. Should he have picked up that rock?
Let's not forget all those inventions made during war time for the purposes of killing that trickled down to various things we use everyday. Such as GPS, microwave ovens and duct tape.

Artificial intelligence will be the next step in human evolution it is absolutely inevitable.
