Is it wrong to think Kurzweil has gone off the deepend? I know he was extremely productive in his early years, but everything about him just makes him seem like a crank who spends most of his energy marketing himself as some kind of thought leader. IMO anyone who calls themselves a "futurist" has very little to contribute to the technology they are preaching.
- gremlinsinc 11y agoHe's ALWAYS been a crank, this generations mad genius, doesn't mean he's wrong though. Just means our world is about to explode as AI starts infiltrating EVERYTHING. But he's contributed PLENTY to the future -- AI needs to be able to "see" and "hear" and understand what it sees and hears, and he created OCR technology AND voice to speech -- both of which had to come before Super AI's could ever be conceived. So he definitely knows what he's doing and is helping push us towards that means.
