Computers
"Human beings are weaklings at everything. They can't run, jump or swim as well as a dozen animals. So we're weak... but there's one area where we have been supreme for millions of years and that's intelligence: nothing has challenged us. Now, for the first time in the history of our race, something comes and says, 'I might be smarter than you are.' And it's a machine..."
- Professor John Searle in Game Over: Kasparov & The Machine (2003).

Beware the age of the cyborg.
That's similar to what Kasparov said. He can beat any human. He can beat any computer. But Deep Blue had a human operator and, even if it wasn't a Grand Master pushing the buttons, that's an unbeatable combination.
