Great phrase/takeway from this thread "Syncopated Intelligence"!
I've already reprogrammed my bluetooth mic/speaker in my Truck to say
(in a somber, sotto voce, male voice) "What are you doing, Steve?" in
place of the tiny accented female Asian Voice that used to say "Powah
Onha" and then "I can't let you do that Steve" for "Bluetooth
Connectedah". I'm afraid to say "Open the pod bay door, Hal" for fear
it might actually manage to open the driver's door and roll me out into
traffic.
I think I"ve watched/read too much Science Fiction in my life... or the
engineers of our time have?

By this reasoning, one day, we'll simply wake up and notice that our car, with all it's little pieces of machine learning have resulted in accidentally/stigmergically engineered intelligence.
