What is AI? Kimera Systems
I came across an interesting article on Popular Mechanics titled "Why Watson and Siri are not real AI". I agree 100% with Douglas Hofstadter but feel like the title is completely wrong. That is of course the author's doing, not Hofstadter. As long as we don't know how our brains "produce" intelligence, we are left to judge the level of machine intelligence based on subjective observation. Because I have been working in the field of artificial general intelligence, or Strong AI, for almost a decade, I know quick ways to prove to myself that neither Siri nor Google Now are intelligent (I have never had the chance to play with Watson but suspect really strongly I can get Watson to give a wrong answer because it doesn't really understand the question.)
