No we're not.

About a decade ago I trained a model on Wikipedia which was tuned to classify documents into what branch of knowledge the document could be part of. Then I fed in one of my own blog posts. The second highest ranking concept that came back to me was "mereology" a term I had never even heard of and one that was quite apt for the topic I was discussing in the blog post.

My own software, running on the contents of millions of authors' work, ingesting my own blog post, taught me the orchestrator of the process about his own work. This feedback loop is accelerating and just because it takes decades for the irrefutable to come, it doesn't mean that it never will. People in the early 40s said atomic weapons would never happen because it would be too difficult. For some people nothing short of seeing is believing, but those with predictive minds know that this truly is just around the corner.
