"We should be far more worried about "genetic enhancement"- efforts to artificially construct "improved humans." Here I side with Fukuyama: Although the technology for improvement is close at hand, it comes with great risks, and some of the greatest risks stem from the complexity of the underlying biology. As we have seen, the basic logic by which genes operate-the regulatory IF conjoined with protein template THEN- is straightforward- which is why genetic enhancement might be possible, in principle. But the combined effects of 30,000 genes far exceed our comprehension; if we know the general principles, we don't know the details, and what we don't know really could hurt us."

Additional quotes by Gary F. Marcus
But the real story is how narrow Duplex was. For all the fantastic resources of Google (and its parent company, Alphabet), the system that they created was so narrow it could handle just three things: restaurant reservations, hair salon appointments, and the opening hours of a few selected businesses. By the time the demo was publicly released, on Android phones, even the hair salon appointments and the opening hour queries were gone. Some of the world’s best minds in AI, using some of the biggest clusters of computers in the world, had produced a special-purpose gadget for making nothing but restaurant reservations. It doesn’t get narrower than that.
