Doesn't really make much sense. It states that this is a purely mechanistic world with no emotion. So why would a machine be "bored" and wish to create a human?

"Some among the machine society see this as potentially amazing...Others see it as a threat."
That sounds like a human society, not machine society.
But what really is a machine society? Or a machine creature? Can they actually "think"?
A machine creature, if it existed, it's behaviour would be totally different from a human, it doesn't seem they would be able to think, but rather calculate, they would do calculation on what they need to do reach the goal it was programmed.
So yes, the article is not exactly logical. But at least, it is thought provoking, and that's good.
