Personally I think that distributed computing will become more prevalent as AI continues to develop. Having a single medium machine dedicated to an AI speciality is better than a high end machine running multiple AI's. Your phone is an excellent example of multiple specialist programs running on a single device. If you had multiple devices running a single app and they were all linked together you can get more, and more powerful performance out of them.

He should have gone with an AMD processor. They multithread better, have better on chip GPU processing and would be a better choice for machine learning setups.

That's pretty sweet. I hope he gets a fill ride somewhere for this. This type of mentality and curiosity needs to be encouraged.

The criticisms all seem to be fear based. That somehow not knowing you're talking to a machine makes you vulnerable. Which is ridiculous. If I pretended to be the opposite sex while on the phone, that doesn't mean I have bad intentions. Likewise, having computers that sound human isn't nefarious. Wanting them to sound robotic reveals more about the detractors insecurities and fears about how we should control our machines than anything else.
