I used an AI summarizer to summarize it for you... is this useful?! Could they be the modern equivalent of ancient alchemists? And would it be such a bad thing if they turned our lives into gold-plated jumble? Yann LeCun is co-recipient of the 2018 Turing Award for his work on neural networks. He argues that AI research is just a necessary adolescent phase characterized by trial and error, confusion, overconfidence and a lack of overall understanding. We have nothing to fear and much to gain from embracing this approach. Alchemy is considered to have been a useful precursor to modern chemistry, more proto-science than hocus-pocus. We could enter a golden age of modern-day alchemy, in the best sense of the word, but we should never forget cautionary lessons of history. |
