I am sure that we will have

Ray Kurzweil doesn't post here, and he's the only one crazy enough to
think that AI will match human functioning. People who are honest
about these things know that AI has severe limitations, and probably
always will.

The issue is whether the potential poster referred to by the Duck
actually has an honest belief, or will post just to start an argument.

If you're talking about who I think you're talking about, I freely
accept that he knows a lot about a lot of subjects, and I don't
believe he ever posts anything just to start an argument. I have
really never understood the hostility some show towards him.

And yes, I do generally agree with him, but he and I will never agree
on certain things regarding AI and fully autonomous vehicles. *Never*.
They are however nearly impossible subjects to even argue about. They
are far too complex, so complex that it almost turns into something
like religious faith.

He made some nice synths, though.

Yes he did.
