Nice to see some push back but all the chatter in the MSM these days about self-driving cars and AI that's going to replace everyone's job (except, I note : lawyers..) makes me strongly suspect that somewhere there is someone with an agenda, driving this chatter. Someone's bonus depends on the received knowledge being that "AI is a commin' ta getcha..", which it decidedly isn't, imho. Yes it works for facial recognition (sometimes) and deciding whether to reject spam (sometimes), but not for large swathes of the blue and white-collar job world. Long long way off.

Note: obviously there's nothing special about the meat between a human's ears, so _one_ day someone in theory should be able to build a machine that matches and exceeds a human's thinking ability. But that's not going to happen in any of our lifetimes.
