Do you not feel like ML researchers have a duty not to inflate their research with loaded, anthropmorphic terms that could me misinterpreted by the public? I'm talking particularly about using words like 'dreaming' and 'imagination' for what is essentially prediction (albeit in complex sensor modalities like vision).
Similarly, your title 'World Models' is equally ambitious and deceptive. It only hints at its relation to model-based reinforcment learning, and using 'world' to mean 'rendering of a gym environment' is definitely an exaggeration.
This is not to say i don't like your work, but i am becoming increasingly frustrated by the language and habits of the newer breed of ML / robotics reseachers.
