Surreal to see the NYT linking to Lesswrong. Pretty cool though. Comments on this article are currently quite disappointing, with several jabs at the NYT. What I don't see are any substantial critiques of the actual article. I think the main points it makes, that we need to do better at communication and the media should also try and better-relate progress are good ones. I also think that for most people who aren't clued in with the current SOTA results, someone with, say, a 2018-understanding of AI, the current progress is remarkable and shouldn't be downplayed/poo-pooed just because you might have a better understanding of how the systems work.
