I’m usually the one saying “AI is already as good as it’s gonna get, for a long while.”

This article, in contrast, is quotes from folks making the next AI generation - saying the same.

    No, we are nowhere close to learning as the human brain does. We don’t even really understand how it does at all.

    The point is to encode solutions to problems that we can’t solve with standard programming techniques. Like vision, speech recognition and generation.

    These problems are easy for humans and very difficult for computers. The same way maths is super easy for computers compared to humans.

    By applying techniques our neurones use computer vision and speech have come on in leaps and bounds.

    We are decades from getting anything close to a computer brain.

      Sorry then if I sound like a broken record but again, doesn’t that mean that the analogy itself is flawed? If the goal remain the same but there is close to no explanatory power, even if we do get pragmatically useful result (i.e. it “works” in some useful cases) it’s basically “just” inspiration, which is nice but is basically branding more than anything else.
