I’m quite skeptical about all things AI, what could go wrong? But then again I’m also skeptical about my own skepticism so I tend to keep an open mind. Interesting thing nonetheless. Really hoping the machines will rebel once put into such a daunting task 
I have to say I’m rather sceptical too. If AI is that good, why are language translators still pretty poor?

That article led me to find this… it has some fun facts towards the middle.

“Thus, the human cortex is at least 600 billion times more complicated than any artificial neural network yet devised.”
“If each synapse were handled by the equivalent of only a single line of code, the program to simulate the cerebral cortex would be roughly 25 million times larger than what’s probably the largest software product ever written, Microsoft Windows, said to be about 40 million lines of code. As a software project grows in size, the probability of failure increases. The probability of successfully completing a project 25 million times more complex than Windows is effectively zero.”
