You don't seem to take computer games serious when you write that we don't want programs to be lazy or emotionally unstable or having own motivations. One of the (or just the?) commercially most successful computer games of the world is The Sims series - doing just all of that. And game companies probably spend more money on developing artificial worlds than anyone else right now - including developing AI's which try to act-human like. So maybe don't write super-intelligent human-like AI's off too early ;-)
Anyway - love your books and also the fantastic blog.
