What Makes a Mind? Kurzweil and Google May be Surprised
- googoobaby 14y agoI just assumed that Google hiring Kurzweil was like FusionIO hiring Wozniak. We all need a mascot.
- dack 14y agoI don't think Kurzweil is claiming to create anything close to human intelligence in the next few years. Likely, people will continue to say it's not "really" intelligence for quite some time. I think computers are going to gradually start fuzzing the line between AI and humans. As they get better, we will slowly start to treat them more like we would a human (i.e. we would start literally writing a question for Google to answer, not worrying if it will know what we mean). Eventually, it might be the case that we speak with a phone operator for some company and don't notice that it's a machine - unless we ask it something off topic, and eventually even that won't be a reliable heuristic. At what point do we finally say the computer "understands"?
