And yet, look in the comments and you will see people literally saying the examples you gave from the 50s aren’t true AI. Granted, those aren’t technical experts.
Even I wouldn’t call myself a technical expert in AI. I studied it in both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees and worked professionally with types of AI, such as decision trees, for years. And I did a little professionally to help data scientists develop NN models, but we’re talking in the range of weeks or maybe months.
It’s really neural networks where I’ve not had enough experience. I never really developed NN models myself, other than small ones in my personal time, so I’m no expert, but I’ve studied it enough and been around it enough that I can talk intelligently about the topic with experts… or at least I could the last time I worked with it, which was around 5 years ago.
And that’s why it’s so depressing to look at these comments you’re talking about. People who vastly oversell their expertise and spread misinformation because it fits their agenda. I also think we need to protect people from generative AI, but I’m not willing to ignore facts or lie to do so.
