The main reason I dislike this nonsense: generality in artificial intelligence is a serious research topic, with real stakes & real applications, with both near-term & long-term progress to be made. These ridiculous sci-fi stories, that shape public perception, are an obstacle.

It's like... working on blood testing research in a world where a secretive company has raised $1.4B to build a mysterious device that can test anything from a single blood drop. In the mind of the public, it's the only narrative they can think of when you bring up your research

And yet -- it's serious, life-saving research. No thanks to cult-like profiteers who overpromise and underdeliver.

Theroano's story came to my mind when I saw Tech Review story on OpenAI. Same thing everywhere "Fake it, till you make it"The quest to become the next Steve Jobs or Edison, get huge funding and media attention seems to get everyone crazy!

This has been done, hasn't it? Blood test from a single drop - liquid biopsy. And you forgot to mention quantum computing. I share your sentiment but I still want to believe in nuclear fusion. It's better defined and longer in the making.
