i believe that now is the time to push AI for computers and maybe even have it built into windows...i believe computers are reaching a high enough processing power and everything says people want to be able to talk to computer and tell it what to do and get intelligent responses back. i believe this would be especially good for people who aren't very good with computers assuming that the voice recognition was accurate and made good sense. Does anyone know if there are databases i can download for HAL to speed up the learning process ? They should put a feature that automatically uploads what you teach HAL into a central database...then it will become smart fast through everyone's help..i think
