ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE GURU RAY KURZWEIL has a review of the movie Simone. He doesn’t like it much, either as cinema or as a foretaste of coming technology (though he found it “enjoyable” on a superficial level).
Since Kurzweil has done more or less what the movie purports to describe, creating a female AI personality, his perspectives are rather interesting. And you have to love the term “synthespian.”
