May I ask why you mention reincarnation? I do not talk about reincarnation at all in the article, and I do not believe in it. I'm surprised the 2 comments here are about that.
But hey, if he wants to believe in reincarnation, as you believe in a singularity, that's OK too.
70 years ago, people believed that computers would 'very soon now' understand spoken natural languages like Russian, Chinese or even English. That's 'understand' as in 'know it at a reasoning level', not 'understand' as in 'manipulate the word tokens'. Such a simple goal, but that is still decades (more likely centuries) away from our current capabilities.
