@GaryMarcus had fraud logic again. How profound the idea of AI is is a prediction about future, not the past. In future, it’s definitely plausible that we will see a world where no AI would mean no electricity, no xyz, no medicine ...
Is AI really “more profound than electricity & fire”? No electricity = no phone, no computers, no internet, no AI, no cars, no light bulbs, no television, no medical imaging etc. maybe eventually, so far not even close. #AIHypehttps://www.recode.net/2018/1/19/16911180/sundar-pichai-google-fire-electricity-ai …

Hmm, maybe you should have read the last line of my tweet? “Not now, maybe eventually.”

More profound, not more basic. Philosophy is profound. Clean water isn’t, but saves more lives

Remember. Google is the company that got tricked into paying half a billion dollars for a
#DeepLearning outfit that develops expensive apps to play games. Meanwhile, we're still waiting for the promised home robot that will do the laundry and prepare breakfast. -
Also they scooped a bunch of robotics companies, such as boston dynamics a few years ago in hope to build intelligent robots. After the project quietly collapsed (~2014), they sold them (probably at a loss) to e.g. SoftBank, that just buys everything AI (financed with junk bonds)

I hear the whale oil folks used to laugh in their drinks at electricity. Not taking sides, just saying.

Human-level AI certainly will be. The AI we've seen so far, no.

I don't think he means it's more fundamental. I think he means that industries like farming, manufacturing and medicine looked v different when electricity was introduced. They will again look very different when AI is deployed, it will be a step change.

Rereading it's possible that I took a sarcastic comment literally? It's really hard for me to tell....
