Intentional imperfection separates man from machine.
People commonly ask "Will artificial intelligence ever catch up to human intelligence?" Well, we will allegedly be able to reverse engineer a human brain by 2030. http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2010/08/reverse-engineering-brain-kurzweil/ Though, does this qualify as artificial intelligence? Reverse engineering a brain is simply synthetically creating human intelligence.
I believe what separates human intelligence from artificial intelligence is that we intentionally "malfunction". We know what is best for us, or what "we are programmed to do", but we freely disobey our bodily instinct and intuition on many occasions. On the other hand, artificial intelligence simply fulfills what is was designed to do. For example, it may even be designed to make irrational decisions, but these poor choices are still by design.

Will Artificial Intel, when it comes,
Be content to file and manage Monkey's sums?
Will Machine turn on its brothers
In the name of its creator?
Will hot self-replication
Be Machine's greatest distraction?
Will some positively glow
With fine electron flow
While others have not binary enough to blink?
Man is born to live and wonder why.
Machine is built and specified to go
And morally unfettered, bettered until
Who knows who'll run the show..?

Maybe malfunctioning is part of the system.
When you take a look at the maco-habits of the world we're more machine then many would imagine.
