    A sufficiently networked and well fed AI will be able to open up whole new sciences with its ability to process vast amounts of seemingly useless information.

    For instance, here is some useless info I was thinking about today: There is certain tone of voice and a set of inflections used by newscasters as they read the news. Most of us are very familiar with this voice. – But what is it? Why is the news read with a predictable set of rising and falling inflection? Are there similar sets of inflection used by news readers speaking different languages?

    Ok, now nobody in there right mind will spend much time thinking about this, much less go out and study it. – But an Ai could process a bunch of news streams and come up with algorithms for News reading intonation. Then they could compare those algorithms against other sets of data, like stock market fluctuation and see if there are any similarities. There are probably tons of patterns out there that are comparable and follow similar rules. This type of thing could eventually be used to predict everything from sun spots to terrorist attacks.
    Instead of information just getting lost in separated laboratories and universities, it would be continually woven together into giant web of interaction.

    You already have a better pattern recognition system than any "AI" could do. If a machine were as capable, it too would be bored to look at all that data.

    I don't thinks so. Yeah, we are great at pattern recognition, but AI systems of the future should be able to do much better. We aren't very good at recognizing patterns across categories or over periods of time longer than a couple minutes.

    An AI could be capable of seeing the similarities between vastly different sets of data. To us it is difficult to compare patterns between visual and audio data. We deal with these patterns in different ways. But an AI could see both in terms of raw data and find the patterns.
