> It's weird that we're dead set on making the comparison with these systems in particular. Maybe that's down to poorly chosen names for things like artificial intelligence and neural networks inviting the comparison. It could be that those names are not poorly chosen. People want grant money, companies want venture capital money. What better way to do that than to use specifically chosen names (also known as propaganda!) Next, there is certainly the "main character syndrome", and the hope of AGI and that these things are on that path, and we are the ones to unlock this. Someone with that point of view, would have a lot of incentive to make those comparisons.
