What we call today "AI" will replace human thought about as much as the TI-99/4A Speech Synthesizer replaced the human voice. Despite not putting talented voice actors out of work by a long shot, artificial voices have found many uses: automated announcements, weather information for aviation and maritime applications, assistive software for the blind, etc. So it will be with machine learning. Use it as a tool to augment your ability to find trends in seas of unstructured data, but the hard intellectual work you'll still need to do yourself. I wish more people would get this.
