    That’s not a rebuttal.

    Fail.

                So you agree that Kurzweil’s 1999 prediction that by 2009 most consumer to business transactions would be with a virtual assistant that includes a realist human head was wrong.

                  You’re misquoting the prediction to change parameters again.

                  This part:

                  “Most routine business transactions (purchases, travel, reservations) take place between a human and a virtual personality.”

                  is obviously correct.

                  “Often, the virtual presentation includes an animated visual presence that looks like a human face”

                  I guess this would also be correct, unless you are misinterpreting “often” to mean “most”.

                    You already argued that a webpage saying, “Thank you for your order.” Is an example of a virtual personality. However that was already refuted because websites did that before Kurzweil made his prediction in 1999. Therefore that isn’t what Kurzweil meant by a virtual personality.
