interestingly, critiques about the theoretical untrustworthiness of AI to determine facts, for example, were there almost from the beginning. the best argument was made in the '80s, that because symbols have no meaning to a computer, the logical mode can't really be compared to humans.
i tend to think the problem is more a function of sci-fi stories. science fiction directly connected AI with like robots that have emotions, when it was actually being used to develop speech recognition, language translation, data mining, search engines, video processing, chess software, etc.
