    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.
