Due to the democratization of machine learning tools there is insufficient demarcation between the science and cargo scientist culture warriors right now. In short, it has become political. Suggesting that we should come up with more clear definitions and timelines, or alternately not discuss AI in a way that either wows or scares people is accepted as being "anti-technology," somehow. This is motivated by the high expectations that investors in this space have placed in machine learning tools, and the fear of the overall economy being stuck in proof of concept hell, resulting in a loss of investment. It's essentially a very sophisticated boiler room.
