Kurzweil seems more like a master of generating linkbait-like titles.

"The singularity is near: When humans transcend biology" "The age of spiritual machines: When computers exceed human intelligence"

I'd argue that Stephen Boyd is more of a master of AI than Kurzweil.

To clarify, Ray is a director, not the director. Google has many engineering directors.

There's pretty good evidence that the entity we call Ray Kurzweil is just an early prototype of Google Brain built by Jeff Dean.
