So far, not impressed. This book is trashy pop sci with ridiculous claims, little science and no skepticism. In the first couple of chapters the authors conflate deterministic software automatons with artificial life and artificial intelligence. I’m sorry, chatbots that do technical “support” are not intelligent, the Game of Life is not synthetic biology, IBM’s Watson is just a very fast computer chess game. And no, we’re not giving Alzheimer’s patients neural implants to help them recover their memories by 2025.
