What those who overhype AI and mislead the public about their achievements need to understand is that they're ultimately compromising their own credibility

It matters very little to the long-term success of your lab/company whether someone's uncle thinks we're close to strong AI because he read it in the newspaper. But it matters a lot what other researchers in the field think about you.

In the long term trust is the only currency. Any sort of misrepresentation of reality undermines the trust of those who can see it for what it is. It should be pretty basic stuff: know your audience

It probably doesn't matter what other researchers think either.

It's unfair to the researchers if your communication's result is much of discussion was spent countering over-claiming, rather than on congratulating achievement, discussing limitations &c It's also harmful in that misapprehensions on capability can lead to misguided policy

http://3seas.org/EAD-RFI-response.pdf … MS's top guilty party of tech industry cheat. Karma of it is lack of diversity in the umbrella term field "Artificial Intelligence." Claiming something is AI is you don't know how to describe the tech. correctly & promote illusion to hide behind instead.

AI researchers focused on press releases don't care about what other researchers think, but about what investors think After investors see their money getting nothing, they will be skeptical, the money will stop flowing, and a new winter will start
