I warmly recommend it, it is not an easy read, and their positioning is definitely debatable. But it is well documented and brings up a lof of concepts and reflections that go beyond the simple visceral reactions or the apocalyptic ones we can read too often. The section about language for example is worth a read for those that think language can be emulated by putting words next to each other using algorithm. The summaries that were made by the publisher and just looking at the TOC doesn't do justice to that book. I'm rereading it now, but I'm in no position to write something about it that would be worth your attention. It is also the only book I know on the subject that has this position on those matters and is not just trivial or undocumented.

Edit: You may have seen it already but there is this page here that talks about a review: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/wAekjDysTiTivfKBe/will-machines-ever-rule-the-world-mlaisu-w50 from Walid Saba. The review itself is here: https://philpapers.org/archive/SABMWN.pdf

I am really interested in how we could develop tools that would support fluid intelligence. Of course, as it is on all the lips these days, some tools could use AI. But I tend to think that notation, knowledge management and exchange may be more useful.
