Two great minds, too brief answers. However, Kurzweil has written about it elsewhere. I don't know enough about Chomsky to know if he's expressed his opinions

Two great minds, too brief answers.
However, Kurzweil has written about it elsewhere. I don't know enough about Chomsky to know if he's expressed his opinions on AI in more depth, but he seems to be suggesting AI can never really "think".
- joshes 16y agoI agree with your comment about the exaggerated brevity. But I am not so certain he is commenting that AI will never be capable of thought. My reading of his comment, and of the original Turing paper which he is citing (Computing Machinery and Intelligence by AM Turing, 1950), is that the term "think" needs to be re-thought itself. That is to say, the common use of the word "think" to differentiate between the processes of AI and Natural intelligence is irrelevant at best, and misguided at worst. But I may be way off.
