I did read the article/watch the video and it still is crap though. I agree that we shouldn't make dissemination of knowledge contingent on holding degrees or having accomplishments in that area, but I still have never really seen a good article on AI by someone outside of the field itself.
- digsmahler 9y agoI really love this article about Fan Hui and AlphaGo, [The Sadness and Beauty of Watching Google's AI Play Go](https://www.wired.com/2016/03/sadness-beauty-watching-googles-ai-play-go/ https://www.wired.com/2016/03/sadness-beauty-watching-google...). It's the first time I've read a balanced intimation of what it can be like interacting with artificial intelligences. I come away from this and the Kasparov article feeling that AIs will be friends as well as partners.
- terravion 9y agoI think your criticism misses the point of this article--it is an article about what it is like to be displaced by AI, not on AI itself. This an interview by perhaps the most prominent and intelligent person to be so publicly displaced by AI. I would submit that AI researchers have zero expertise in what it is like to be displaced by AI. Garry Kasparov on the other hand, graciously and publicly accepted a lifetime of work and his position as the best in the world becoming obsolete. That he came out of that optimistic and interested in continued technological progress, including in AI, is interesting. Also, his observation that humans are explorers who have passion and purpose is a really useful one for (especially non-technical) people trying to find their way in world where AI is a reality.
