We regret to inform you that Ray Kurzweil is back on his bullshit
The Google futurist talks nanobots and avatars, deepfakes and elections – and why he is so optimistic about a future where we merge with computers
You're viewing part of a thread.
You're going to blind someone with all of your projection.
That's not a rebuttal.
Fail.
Wrong. Pass.
Still not a rebuttal.

Yes, that's what I said....
So you agree that Kurzweil's 1999 prediction that by 2009 most consumer to business transactions would be with a virtual assistant that includes a realist human head was wrong.
You're misquoting the prediction to change parameters again.
This part:
"Most routine business transactions (purchases, travel, reservations) take place between a human and a virtual personality."
is obviously correct.
"Often, the virtual presentation includes an animated visual presence that looks like a human face"
I guess this would also be correct, unless you are misinterpreting "often" to mean "most".
You already argued that a webpage saying, "Thank you for your order." Is an example of a virtual personality. However that was already refuted because websites did that before Kurzweil made his prediction in 1999. Therefore that isn't what Kurzweil meant by a virtual personality.
