This speaks to the gap between viewing AI as a useful tool versus thinking solely about AGI. Being able to utilize info people can't, do stuff faster, etc., is useful even if the system isn't truly intelligent.https://twitter.com/GaryMarcus/status/1090685023479427072 …

Fair enough; there's definitely a big PR angle to some of these things. My main concern is that between Alexa and these AI grand challenges, people are overlooking an awful lot of utility.
I don’t even think Starcraft is a “grand challenge”; that too is just part of the PR game. But yes current AI is useful, even if it isn’t really anywhere near AGI. Who disagrees?

I think it’s more overlooked than disagreed upon, because the midde ground doesn’t make good headlines. So most people who aren’t AI researchers take what they read at surface value and ascribe either too-simple or too-magical powers.

I guess what I’m saying is that I’d love to see more honesty from orgs like DeepMind and more discussion of applications for their work even if it’s not the holy grail.

I disagree. A good read to see StarCraft is a great challenge is M. Buro 2003 paper which initiate AI research on RTS: https://skatgame.net/mburo/ps/RTS-ijcai03.pdf …

Mmm, the 2004 paper gives more details. https://skatgame.net/mburo/ps/BRIMS-04.pdf …
