Title: Cr*p
Product review: Computers can be programmed in accordance with the laws of logic, and can give results to mathematical problems when the programmer creates the proper procedure.Any device that can do this must be intelligent, in the same sense as human beings.Therefore, computers are intelligent.I have saved you the trouble of reading this compilation of nonsense and outright lies (I especially liked the whopper where it was said that a computer had passed the Turing test. If you look up Turing's paper, for example in <a href ="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0553345842/qid=1117964314/sr=2-2/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_2/104-4512575-8891160)">The Mind's I</a>, by Hofstadter, you'll see just how big a lie this is).If your religion tells you that computers are intelligent, I won't argue. For the non-faith-based, you need evidence and reason, and Kurzweil has absolutely none.There's some interesting information scattered through this mess, but it's not worth buying for it.
