what a weird moment to take a stab at AI, right now when all the projects are starting to bear fruit and we can see advances that remind me of moore's law in the 90s.

these projects have direct commercial applications right now.

Honestly? I get it.

What you say about AI is true; however, from where I'm standing, it seems there is still too much greed-driven, mindless "no problem; we'll simply brute-force the problem of inventing a machine that does human-level cognition, which is a thing we admit we do not understand at all"-type enthusiasm, and not enough openness, humility, and critical thinking in the field.
