@GaryMarcus No obviously those are historical - 1989 Kasparov: “Ridiculous! A machine will always remain a machine, that is to say a tool to help the player work and prepare. Never shall I be beaten by a machine. … Can you see a machine writing a novel or poetry?”

@GaryMarcus I think it’s worth having takes on various scenarios whether optimistic or pessimistic. We’ve been told a machine would never beat the best human at chess, at go, at jeopardy, cars will never self-drive, US debt will never exceed GDP etc, never is a long time.
