Past Performance is Not Indicative of Future Results (2020)
&gt; I am an AI skeptic. I am baffled by anyone who isn’t. I don’t see any path from continuous improvements to the (admittedly impressive) ‘machine learning’ field that leads to a general AI<p>- I share the skepticism towards any progress towards &#x27;general AI&#x27; - I don&#x27;t think that we&#x27;re remotely close or even on the right path in any way.<p>- That doesn&#x27;t make me a skeptic towards the current state of machine learning though. ML doesn&#x27;t need to lead to general AI. It&#x27;s already useful in its current forms. That&#x27;s good enough. It doesn&#x27;t need to solve all of humanity&#x27;s problems to be a great tool.<p>I think it&#x27;s important to make this distinction and for some reason it&#x27;s left implicit or it&#x27;s purposefully omitted from the article.
