            Yes, that’s what I said…

              So you agree that Kurzweil’s 1999 prediction that by 2009 most consumer to business transactions would be with a virtual assistant that includes a realist human head was wrong.

                You’re misquoting the prediction to change parameters again.

                This part:

                “Most routine business transactions (purchases, travel, reservations) take place between a human and a virtual personality.”

                is obviously correct.

                “Often, the virtual presentation includes an animated visual presence that looks like a human face”

                I guess this would also be correct, unless you are misinterpreting “often” to mean “most”.

                  You already argued that a webpage saying, “Thank you for your order.” Is an example of a virtual personality. However that was already refuted because websites did that before Kurzweil made his prediction in 1999. Therefore that isn’t what Kurzweil meant by a virtual personality.

                    Correctively incorrect three times! Nice.
