I think I've personally found out what separates artificial intelligence from natural intelligence; "innovation", AI is simply incapable of it from what I have seen, furthermore I don't think it can act as a perfect replacement of the human mind as it originates from an imperfect source; "the human mind" itself.

Thus we arrive at the idea that AI is not a replacement for Natural Intelligence, but perhaps an extension of human consciousness? I know one thing... before any movement towards a merge is made, a very important factor must be considered; and that is "control", for by whom or what is the controller controlled; in other words, "who watches the watcher?" There is no one among humanity that can be trusted to be the guardian for something of this grandiose nature, therefore the only solution would be to let this extension become in-turn "out of control".
