[ExI] Six Startling Predictions

[William Flynn Wallace]

As to acceptance of AI novels and music and such, I suspect that the
principle of 'good enough for who it's for' will be the guiding one.  The
average person does not have refined taste in anything  (viz. mp3 level of
reproduction), (OK, sweeping generalization, but true) and will gladly
accept all the stuff predicted if the price is right.  Many people will
treat them as dear friends (already happening).   bill w
