"And perhaps that was Minsky's most lasting contribution of 1982: while others were busy proving machines could perform specific tasks — play chess, solve equations, diagnose diseases — he insisted on asking the bigger question. Not whether machines could match human intelligence, but whether the very act of trying to create thinking machines might transform human consciousness itself. His position was that the enterprise of artificial intelligence wasn't just about building smarter computers — it was about expanding the boundaries of what it meant to be human."

Makes me wonder today with AI-automated BDR teams, if we are missing the point today as well
