I'm not (and nor was the original article) arguing that AI will somehow swoop in and save the day. The fact remains that we're heading into an area of science where the human mind alone isn't capable of understanding the entire picture. Kurzweil has been arguing for awhile that the data and understanding of the data will rapidly outpace man's biological capabilities. Our brains are good at snap judgments and simple pattern finding. it takes training to move beyond this. (Hence why education exists.)

This is a non-argument. I agree
