I’m only describing the present. You’re the one saying you’ll always always always be able to tell. Feel free to test that bravado, internet stranger.

The simple fact is, we don’t understand intelligence, and we keep being wrong about how much can be faked. Sometimes by underestimating ourselves - sometimes by overestimating ourselves. We do all this civilization nonsense with three pounds of electrified meat. Some parts, even important or popular parts, can be very formulaic. People have been generating so-so sheet music since an electric calculator was an investment. Now we’re talking about direct audio output of dead singers with new lyrics from dead writers. No kidding it’s flawed. But it’s already jawdropping when it works properly, and there is no reason to imagine this rush of progress will suddenly stop.

Really, say that out loud: “this is the best technology will ever be.”

lol, tough guy talk from internet strangers only impresses children on Xbox live.

The only fact here is that you’re defending your opinion with nothing more than bluster and vagueness because of something you already admitted and keep admitting: you don’t know, so this equivocation between that and your determinism that something - anything - is certain to happen is not only disingenuous, it’s absurd.

I’m not convinced you’d recognize yourself in a mirror.

You’re aggressively dismissive of cocksure predictions… which you’re doing, and I’m not.

You’re incensed by language making disagreement personal… which you used, and I only turned around.

You think “I don’t know” is damning failure, but “you don’t either” is somehow contradictory.

You are the one certain of what’s going to happen.

That is somehow not the most absurd part of this conversation.

Now you’re resorting to personal attacks and “I know you are but what am I?” along with more contradictions without a hint of irony.

Do you often find this approach successful when the bloviating and juvenile attempts at intimidation don’t work?
