Now I've read the piece by John Horgan.
I may have been more enthusiastic about AI than was agreeable to
John's taste (no "singularity point" in those days, something I myself
have much skepticism about), but my prognostications about AI were a
lot more sound than John's about "the end of science," written in 1996
or so.
