For once, I’m not the old man in this story. Or at least the only one. There are tons of quotes and articles and videos of some old dude complaining because their thing, what ever it is – photography, music, etc., is changing.

Last week Google demoed a new feature this week called “Duplex” that shows a huge jump in progress of capabilities of artificial intelligence. You can watch a brief demo from the keynote here: Essentially, it’s an artificial intelligence (AI) that can hold limited conversations and sound completely human – even down to quirks and stammers, like adding in “ums” and pauses where the AI is “thinking” or “processing a question” from the person it is talking to.
