I think our personal views agree on this matter.
However, if symbolic reasoning indeed arises as an emergent property, there is no way that Marcus can honestly claim to have been right all along. Remember he is saying that the deep learning guys are looking under the wrong street light.
- cs702 4y agoGiven how often the critics have "moved the goal posts" and subtly tweaked their arguments, I'd expect they will claim to have been right about needing symbolic reasoning, no matter how we get there. My perception is that they care mainly about pointing out failure modes and about ultimately being proven "right" -- not about making contributions that can actually improve existing systems. In fact, AFAIK, the critics have made ZERO contributions to improve existing AI systems.
