An anonymous reader writes "A detailed and fascinating interview with Douglas Hofstadter (of Godel Escher Bach fame) about his latest book, science fiction, Kurzweil's singularity and more... Apparently this leading cognitive researcher wouldn't want to live in a world with AI, since "Such a world would be too alien for me. I prefer living in a world where computers are still very very stupid." He also wouldn't want to be around if Kurzweil's ideas come to pass, since he thinks "it certainly would spell the end of human life.""
