Why are we trying to create AI robots when we haven't finished the air cars and autobake ovens? The whole thing is patently stupid. Specifically, why was 2009 chosen for the year that human musicians will "routinely jam" with cyber musicians? Why not 2008? What was the no doubt deep thinking behind this masterpiece? Every AI pronouncement I hear is grandiose, futuristic, and intellectually bankrupt. This is no exception. What do AI researchers do all day but scratch out these fanciful dalliances? Is it not time for some useful, real, artificial intelligence? Like a software diagnostics program that actually worked? Just the basic stale bread and bracken water would be nice. I don't need full tea at 4:00.
