<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re already creating the superior beings, I think we lost the  battle to  the machines long ago,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re going to become the  pets, the dogs of the house.&#8221;</p>
<p>He said all of a sudden, true artificial  intelligence will creep up on  mankind like an accident.</p>
<p>&#8220;Every time we  create new technology we&#8217;re creating stuff to do the work we  used to do and  we&#8217;re making ourselves less meaningful, less relevant.</p>
<p>&#8220;Why are we going  to need ourselves so much in the future? We&#8217;re just going  to have the easy  life,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Mr Wozniak said Singularity, where a machine seems like a  human being and  has feelings, can think and be motivated, seemed an impossible  dream to him  years ago.</p>
<p>When he started Apple, he said, he never thought  a computer would be  powerful enough to hold an entire song and today we can fit  50 movies on a  little disc in an iPhone.</p>
<p>&#8220;You don&#8217;t realise it&#8217;s happened  until it&#8217;s there and I think that awareness  of machines is getting very, very  close and we&#8217;re getting close to where a  machine will really understand you,&#8221; Mr  Wozniak said.</p>
<p>&#8220;My comment about the machines winning the war is partly a  joke, but we&#8217;ve  accidentally already put so much in place that we can&#8217;t get rid  of from our  lives.</p>
<p>&#8220;Once we have machines doing our high-level thinking,  there&#8217;s so little need  for ourselves and you can&#8217;t ever undo it &#8211; you can never  turn them off.&#8221;</p>
