Personally working with computers everyday I think we are no nearer creating an AI as those people who made automaton where back in Victorian times. I se no evidence that computers show any facility for rational thought. Sure they can learn, but not in the way we do. You wouldnt call a visual recognition system intelligent.

That prediction never works. Or, maybe it works for the parts of the culture which aren't changing much, but there's always some big new thing. The 00s had the war on terror, the 90s had the Internet, the 80s had the end of Soviet communism, the 70s had the oil crisis, the 60s had their cultural revolution, the 50s had the nuclear arms race, the 40s had a world war... “I’m predicting a bigger brighter expanded version of the last few years — nothing particularly radical.”
