Well, now you're just rationalizing from fictional evidence (e.g. bad AI movies/books). An AI is not just a faster version of a human mind. It's another mind type entirely. See
The Singularity Institute Blog : Blog Archive : Hollywood AI: Off-Label Use Considered Harmful
As for the feasibility of creating an AI, my position falls somewhere near Coolsvilleman's, although I'm really lacking the time to explain it thoroughly.
