content: Very true. I write code every day, and getting a piece of software to even remotely approximate an "intelligent" decision without canned logic would be extremely difficult. The level of clever fakery we see in things like Siri and Cortana is neat, but dont represent any actual decision making ability. They are wrapper applications for search engines, and really not even very good at that. We are soooooo far away from true machine intelligence that I can't fault Linus for laughing about it.
