Readers of Less Wrong may be interested in this New Scientist article by Noel Sharkey, titled Why AI is a dangerous dream, in which he attacks Kurzweil's and Moravec's "fairy tale" predictions and questions whether intelligence is computational ("[the mind] could be a physical system that cannot be recreated by a computer").

[edit] I thought this would go without saying, but I suspect the downvotes speak otherwise, so: I strongly disagree with the content of this article. I still consider it interesting because it is useful to be aware of differing and potentially popular perspectives on these subjects (and Sharkey is something of a "populist" scientist). I think the opinions it espouses are staggeringly ill-conceived, however.
