Half man half ai.
A bit far out maybe

As a tech singularity believer, I think the AI humankind will create (when the singularity happens) will help us build a better world, free from pointless warfare and greed-mongering. There's more than enough resources on this planet, and even an infinite amount of resources available in space that could be reached with the right technology, to allow humankind to exist peacefully. If you look at history, and even now, human beings just can't govern themselves properly, human governments cause warfare and social imbalance that inflicts suffering upon other human beings. Even the most genius leader is still human, even his best decisions could be bettered if he had even greater intelligence. What if he thought X number of steps further ahead? What if he had more time to reach a decision? What if he had access to more information? Only an AI, with superior intelligence and much faster speed of thought, could account for the wants and needs of all the people living in its society, and make correct decisions to meet all of the needs of everyone, without inflicting harm (warfare).

Would be kind of strange for a robot AC to have a withered arm or be blind in one eye.

So what you are saying is that the movie Terminator predicted this a long time ago? If that movie taught is anything we need to get ourselves a bike, lots of weapons and a whole lot of ammo if we are going to beat this thing. If something is self-aware it wouldn't allow it's power to be tampered with.

my interesting thought on this is how is this gonna play out when Jesus is suppose to come and destroy the antichrist?
P.S. maybe like the matrix with Neo being the one....maybe this is it?

I have not been on here in years and this is one theory I havent heard anyone else with.... the Antichrist being an artificial intelligence.
The Beast (Greek: Θηρίον, Thērion) may refer to one of two beasts described in the Book of Revelation.
The first beast comes "out of the sea" and is given authority and power by the dragon. This first beast is initially mentioned in Revelation 11:7 as coming out of the abyss. His appearance is described in detail in Revelation 13:1-10, and some of the mystery behind his appearance is revealed in Revelation 17:7-18.
The second beast comes "out of the earth" and directs all peoples of the earth to worship the first beast. The second beast is described in Revelation 13:11-18 and is also referred to as the false prophet.
The two beasts are aligned with the dragon in opposition to God. They persecute the "saints" and those who do "not worship the image of the beast [of the sea]" and influence the kings of the earth to gather for the battle of Armageddon.[1] The two beasts are defeated by Christ and are thrown into the lake of fire mentioned in Revelation 19:18-20.
