      Exactly. To me and I’d bet most others in the field machine learning is just a powerful tool to enable new things that weren’t previously doable. Acting like it’s a wasted effort because you don’t think it’ll lead to AGI is just silly. It’s not just about AGI.https://twitter.com/tdietterich/status/1203189592712568832 …

      The wrong direction for some people is the right direction for others. Not all AI researchers are trying to create human-breadth intelligent systems. But if that is your goal, then you have good reason to be disappointed!

      Ok, but I can't really see any reason why deep learning won't (some day in the "distant" future) lead to something that can be called human-like intelligence. CNN already approximate human visual cortex, reinforcement learning already produces human-like strategies to win games.

      I’m not saying it won’t! And in fact I think the people who state the case against it are probably overstating the case. But I’d argue we just don’t know yet and suggesting otherwise (either way) is intellectually dishonest. In the meantime the resulting tools are awesome.

          Of course we don't know, but looking at human evolution and comparing it to "artificial evolution" odds suggest it's just a matter of when rather than if (and I can't see anything dishonest in arguing this, it's just weighted optimism :).

          It's like talking about exoplanets before the Kepler telescope started its observations. Of course at the time we didn't know if earth was the only planet around a star in the universe, but the odds were totally in favor of one hypothesis rather than the other.
