[gurps] Failing autopilots and RVO

[Travis Watkins]

I would not count on that.

There are already specialized programs that are better than humans in
a number of fields, including medical diagnosis(saw an article on this
some years ago, but people still want a human, so some doctors use it
as a second opinion/sanity check)

The definition of what an AI cannot do is getting narrower and
narrower every day.
Just as 3rd ed was way behind on what bio-tech would be doing in TL8,
so could 3rd and 4th both be well behind what is possible in software.
It just takes one clever person with a few good ideas.

The real question is not whether machines think but whether men do. --
