Summary:Machines have created valuable products, and, sometimes, these machines have replaced the very people who produced the same products because they did it less expensively and with higher quality. Throughout the next centuries, the first Industrial Revolution, the 19th and 20th century thinkers and think tanks, politicians and purveyors of science fiction, doomsayers and religious leaders have feared (or profited from the fear) that machines would quite simply "replace us all." Now we are in the 21st century and the time of extreme highspeed computing. Here, Corey and Sullivan argue that there is no substitute for genius, and despite the awesome power of the GPU and the majesty of the new manifestations of AI, there is no substitute for the human mind.
