Every time there is some progress in AI people would yell "but this is not a real AI 'cause humans can..." ( play go/understand pictures/language/semantics/etc, goalpost is always in motion)
- pdimitar 8y agoStop playing the victim. Just make a driverless car that never makes mistakes already -- and I promise you the goalpost won't move for a while. Go and chess mean nothing out there. The world has a lot of very practical and concrete needs that this magical "AI" is nowhere near solving yet. I find the constant defensiveness of the ML proponents tiring and cringe-worthy. Somebody should remind you that what you are doing is not a backyard hobby. The people who fund you make a lot of promises and I don't think any of them have been delivered.

- mtrimpe 8y agoAI carves away what it means to be human one trivial slice at a time. That's how it always has been and always will be until perhaps one day there is truly nothing 'truly human' left to slice off.
