There has always been a flaw in Ray Kurzweil's AI visions. Ray Kurzweil 20 years ago was predicting that voice activated typewriters (VATs) would replace word processors and typewriters within five years. That became a mantra of his for over 10 years. And as the media darling of the 80s the press gave him the podium to pound on that drum year after year. It was always 2 to 5 years out, for over 10 years. He finally shut up about that after he sold his company to the Belgium company that bought his vision hook, line and sinker, that great facilitator of the voice market, Lernout & Hauspie. L&H is no longer having been mercifully put to death because of fraud in attempting to inflate the market for voice recognition applications. Ray didn't get it then about the limits of hardware and software interaction , and more importantly he didn't get the complexity of human hearing and understanding, and he doesn't get it now. Ray should stick to music and personal appearances with Stevie Wonder. But then again he has worn out that media darling AI vehicle. Now he is on to another AI vision. When will the media ever learn.
