Because there&#x27;s no known path to AI and articles like this are pretty much science fiction.  Reminds me of that Georges Melies film about going to the moon in a cannon. We didn&#x27;t have any ideas regarding rockets yet, so cannons it is.<p>I suspect someone will get some level of mega-expert system&#x2F;simulated intelligence going sooner than later. Maybe something that can handle the types of commands you could give a dog and it being able to use enough fuzzy logic to work basic things out like, &quot;Get me a coke from the fridge and then get my slippers.&quot;<p>That seems a lot more likely than suddenly birthing human-level AI from NN&#x27;s. I think NN&#x27;s will ultimately fail the same way planes work nothing like birds. Trying to copy a biological system very closely just doesn&#x27;t make sense, at least most of the time.
