I might use this in future critical discussions of AI. “It’s not really intelligent.” Yeah, well, neither am I. On a more serious note, it seems obvious to me that technology is incremental, and we are where we are. Given 20 more years of peacetime, we’ll be further along. When VGA 320x200x256 arrived it was dubbed photorealistic. I wonder what HN would have had to say about that.

Venkatesh Rao had a great piece on how mediocre we really are recently:
