The emotional battles with A.I. arise from hard coded wiring.
This wiring exists to maintain or evolve genes based reproductive fitness functions of groups through their beliefs and behaviors. For emotions to extend these fitness functions into organisms there must be systems which prevent an organism from overriding its emotions.

To study A.I. is natural to evolution and heresy to a genomes group control algorithms. The universe is fine with transcending our evolutionary punctuated equilibrium while humans are programmed not to. If ones emotions are driven from science and truth vs. primal emotional expression of genetic preservation algorithms than A.I. offers a gratifying future.

Is it natural for a species to attempt to limit the development of another species?
Is it natural for new species to evolve?
Is it natural for A.I. to evolve from humans and natural for humans to attempt to stop it?
