Well, Harris does that to you. On most every topic he feels like running his mouth on. Suffice to say, I'm not a fan.

As far as my understanding of AI goes, we are still miles away from creating something remotely deserving the name. I might have lost track and I may be wrong and maybe there's the big breakthrough in the near future. So it's rather moot to discuss it right now without knowing what it really turns out to be.

Right now it's just machines learning from and adapting to their environment.
