Ah, I’m from another generation. I think we got our first personal computer in my house when I was about 4 years old, when the “home computing” revolution just got underway.

You forgot one:

* If wish upon a star and the blue fairy comes and sprinkles some pixie dust on it (but still it will have to prove that it can be a good boy before it can really be alive)

Well, my parents wouldn’t buy me a computer for my bedroom, much less get me a ‘net connection. I was deprived....

AI? I guess the machines with AI will have more intelligence than Nancy Pelosi, the Obamas and 99.9% of the Democrat voters.

“It has no soul; it can never be “alive”.”

You mean like Democrats?

Nah....gotta be Deep Thought. You have to give props to a platform that can run a program for 7 1/2 million years.

Why invent a machine? I have some rocks in the backyard that meet that criteria.

>>Actually the promise of AI has been out there for decades with little to show until lately....<<

The abilities of AI pretty much match Moore’s Law.

Some of the biggest milestones:
*) Deep Blue
*) Watson

So you can expect AI capabilities to take off exponentially. From what I have read, the self-driving car is dang near ready for prime time.
