Well this just blew everything I wrote out of the water…http://waitbutwhy.com/2015/01/artificial-intelligence-revolution-1.html?utm_source=The+Journal&utm_campaign=04170400db-The_Journal_June_2016&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_da0224f105-04170400db-145769557

“Humans crush all other species at building a vast collective intelligence. Beginning with the development of language and the forming of large, dense communities, advancing through the inventions of writing and printing, and now intensified through tools like the internet, humanity’s collective intelligence is one of the major reasons we’ve been able to get so far ahead of all other species. And computers will be way better at it than we are. A worldwide network of AI running a particular program could regularly sync with itself so that anything any one computer learned would be instantly uploaded to all other computers. The group could also take on one goal as a unit, because there wouldn’t necessarily be dissenting opinions and motivations and self-interest, like we have within the human population.”
