Where is this quote from, please?

To play devil's advocate, I think retort to your comment about "intellectually satisfying" methods is "yeah, but, they work". And in any case, "intellectually satisfying" doesn't have a formal definition in computer science or AI so it can't very well be a goal, as such.

My own concern is exactly what Russel & Norvig seem to say in Hofstadter's comment: by spending all our resources on clmbing the tallest trees to get to the moon, we're falling behind from our goal, of ever getting to the moon. That's even more so if the goal is to use AI to understand our own mind, rather than to beat a bunch of benchmarks.

Thank you.

Gosh, what an awkward pose, that first picture.
