Couldn't disagree more with the rosy expectations for AI.
There must be a new religion brewing, with all this popular culture nonsense going around. One of those things must be the mechanization of everything, including conciousness itself. What makes a human, anyway? To me, it is the power of thought. Perhaps the desire for so much convenience has caused people to become less than human now. No one is inclined to think! Let's have the computers think for us! I shudder at the thought.
Update a little later...: The idea that humans should rely upon robots to solve our problems is obscene. Besides, computers cannot do that anyway. All computers can do is to do what they are told. Computers are not capable of originality. If that were to change, we'd be in trouble.
