Two Decades On, Writer Questions Whether Computers Deliver
Original: 20 years I wrote this - have the computers got "faster, cleverer and be able to leap tall buildings in a single CPU cycl
A New Zealand blogger revisits an essay he wrote 20 years ago asking whether computers would become dramatically faster and cleverer, jokingly capable of leaping tall buildings in a single CPU cycle. Re-reading it now, he concludes that the bold promise of genuine machine intelligence meeting human narrative and tacit knowledge has not been fulfilled, and he argues that despite today's AI hype, the original hopes remain unmet.
Why now: Renewed interest in whether modern AI hype matches predictions made decades ago about computing progress
