> Yet we think AI will have it

Lenny Bruce joking as Tonto to the Lone Ranger:

Who is "we" white man?

The lede observation depends upon whether "we" can expect our science to ever produce an intelligible theory of mind.

The difficulty of producing a theory of mind makes the Imitation Game a compelling approach to setting expectations for AI.

And also portends of the hazard that we become so distracted by simulacra that we lose all bearing upon ourselves.
