valleywag.com — "Wikipedia 3.0: The end of Google?" That's what everyone asked after a popular blog post Monday, but everyone was wrong. Because of five advantages, Google will be first to make a global artificial intelligence and a semantic web. What's more, Google already said they'll do it.

Phew, glad that it's cleared up that Google's gonna invent real A.I. Well, MIT, Carnegie Melon, USC and the hundreds of other AI programs out trying to invent real A.I., you could just quit, because Google is gonna do it. I myself am going to invent a toaster where those variable toast settings actually mean something instead of "not toasted at all" or "burnt to a crisp."

Chinese room ...hmmmA very flawed argument for a few reasons.1) It defines the NATURE of this "perfect AI" and proceeds to crush it... major straw man... Yes, if you have a lookup table and it just translates algorithmically, it's not an intelligence... But that has nothing to do with AI. AI is never a straight lookup table. That's just a simple heuristic, at best.2) It creates a fictional partition in the brain of "know" vs "memorize" without giving any evidence that there is a physical difference within the brain of "understanding" that is somehow physically impossible for a computer. I won't take the magic step to say "yes, the mind is just a very complicated computer"I do have to say, though, if it acts in every way like a human, one must tip a hat at the reality of it.... Everything else is just perspective, anyway.

this scares the ever living s**t out of me, it really does.

Your attempt at being a machine fails due to poor spelling. Sorry.

Through extensive coding, Google has already emerged as America's most efficient search engine (and soon the world although Yahoo is currently at the top). They've already shown their mastery of semantics, with being able to customize search results to each specific user (through yet more complex coding and algorithms). Their efficiency has lead to a dramatically increased budget and smarter employees. With this, it is almost a certainty that it will be at the forefront of the AI race. We may enter Web 3.0 quicker than most think riding on the back of Google's aspirations.
