I didn't watch that much Star Trek but I think Spock would disagree
with your theory about mood swings and AI.
Oddly enough, I was being serious about AI, not making goofy remarks to
be analysed by characters from a TV series.

The AI we have had in the past is primitive and not even close to the AI
I am talking about. i have not seen anything fantastic come from the old
so called AI because it was artificial in even claiming it to be AI.

Artificial Intelligence if we mean something that can learn from input and act
on it does exist.
Artificial Intelligence if we mean a machine that behaves like a Bonobo or a
Human does not exist
and is unlikely to as that presupposes Bonobos and Humans are entirely
mechanistic.
Artificial Intelligence can be something as simple as a computer program that learns how
an end-user uses it and reshapes its behaviour to echo the end-user's preferences. I(f
that is the case, then the Mozilla Firefox browser that "lives" in part of my
Linux box may be said to possess some sort of AI.
However my cat (who is neither a computer program, nor interacts with
computers), and I (???)
both possess a quite different sort of intelligence . . .
This is why the Russell-Carnap theory that everything could be boiled down to a
set of mathematical equations has failed so miserably.
So, while Artificial Intelligence can be said to exist, and be said to be
capable of development, to
equate AI with animal intelligence might lead to ridiculous and unreasonable
expectations.
Animals have feelings, and feelings cannot be mathematically quantified yet
animals act upon them.
When I see a computer and/or program that suffers from mood swings I will admit
I was wrong!

I don't know whether anybody has sat down and mapped out how AI is expected to
develop
over the next dozen years or so. This might prove useful so that a lot of
people don't waste
an awful lot of time trying to get something to behave in a way it is
congenitally incapable of,
and stop the sort of "my computer behaves like my girlfriend" sort of
expectations that seem to
be current.
