Will AI soon surpass the human brain? If you ask employees at OpenAI, Google DeepMind and other large tech companies, it is inevitable. However, researchers @Iris and @olivia at Radboud University and others show new proof that those claims are overblown and unlikely to ever come to fruition. Their findings are published in Computational Brain & Behavior today.

@Iris @olivia yeah, there are continents between "box that assembles grammatically plausible text strings from a large data set" and "self-aware machine that can think and draw conclusions independently of human input." Planets, even.

It's wild to me how many people have been snookered by what basically boils down to another Mechanical Turk illusion.
