According to the dictionary, godfather is defined as: "a man who is influential or pioneering in a movement or organization"
Are these prominent AI researches not seen as being prominent exactly because they influenced movement in relation to AI?
- peterth3 3y agoThat’s definition #2 with #1 being: > a man who presents a child at baptism and promises to take responsibility for their religious education. So, the original definition is a gendered and religious term. Sounds silly to me. Especially in this context.
- randomdata 3y agoClearly #1 has no applicability here and the intent is to convey #2, which is quite apt. Words have multiple meanings. Such is life.
