Modern AI techniques also don't really work as well as many think; they're awesome, but the hype far exceeds the reality. (For example, self-driving cars are very far away.) A HAL-like approach is actually better for most purposes I've encountered than “throw the problem at a deep neural net”.
- Retric 6y agoThe hype is excessive, but a lot of stuff is good enough for the real world even if it’s far from perfect. Self driving crashes for example are rare enough to make the news. That might not be good enough, but it is a very high bar. We crossed a threshold where it’s significantly more dangerous for someone do 90+MPH on the open road than set their car to do 5 over the speed limit and take a nap on that same trip. That’s a long way from level 5, but Honda has approval to operate at level 3 where drivers don’t have to monitor road conditions under specific conditions. https://carbuzz.com/news/honda-reveals-first-level-3-self-driving-production-car https://carbuzz.com/news/honda-reveals-first-level-3-self-dr...
