What was not clear from your earlier comment, and is now, is that when you say AI you don't mean AI as is practiced by most of academia and the industry but the vision of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). If so, yes, that's a good point to make. However, it is debatable whether the path of statistical learning wont lead to AGI, or is not how our brains function, or the truth partly does comprise of statistical learning and part of something else. The Norvig-Chomsky debate is an example of the arguments on both sides.
- ModernMech 8y agoI didn't make an earlier comment. You're replying to my one and only comment. > when you say AI you don't mean AI as is practiced by most of academia and the industry but the vision of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). What I actually mean is people practicing what they call "AI" in academia and the industry have co-opted the name to make what they do sound more interesting. First it was called "statistics". Then it was called "pattern matching". Then it was called "machine learning". Now it's called "AI". But it hasn't changed meaningfully through any iteration of these labels.
- abhgh 8y agoOops, sorry! To your point, I agree. They hype around the area has evolved much faster than the area itself.
