This is a talent that we probably all envy, always. Where is he In relations between people, we all live in our own family, we need to convince our parents of something, our grandparents, to defend our innocence.We need this in large societies, we study at school, at the university , and there, too, you need to tell someone something and convince someone that you are right.

I would ask German Oskarovich a question, but it's too late, will artificial intelligence ever get the power of persuasion, will it be able to convince a person … or artificial intelligence will never … It can even get intelligence, but it will never get consciousness » , Peskov added.
