Was genuinely hoping to find there was some interesting research going on, but it’s all just AI stuff.

"Was genuinely hoping to find there was some interesting research going on, but it’s all just this "calculus"" -- everyone, in 1670

Imagine putting ai and google at the same level as calculus.

For one it's an analogy - for two the jury's out.

>>djmips+Kr
How is a good analogy if calculus is known to be fundamental in our understanding of the world and for ai the jury is out?

Give it 20 years and AI may be the most important thing mankind has ever created.

And it may not be. We need to judge it on what it can do today, not 20 years from now. And today it's pretty useless.

> today it's pretty useless.

This is quite the statement. Even my elderly father finds it incredibly useful. And he doesn't even know how to turn up his iPhone ringer (which BTW it helps him with).
