So I understand how people can get emotional about this topic but really quick let’s calm down and reevaluate what I said.

My comment was in response to Simon’s reply to a user who posted an article. The title of the article they posted addresses magical thinking in AI.

Now whether that’s an opinion you share or not is not the point. Simon responded as if the user was only calling any perceived gains from AI as magical thinking which is not the case.

I’ll let you come back to that when you feel like it. Altogether, though it’s just disappointing to see someone who’s work I read often jumping to an emotional response when it’s not warranted.

Never meet your heros. Then again, if the worst is a bit of emotionally charged snark, of which we are all guilty of at some point, I think I'll live.

Very true and to be fair Simon’s response with his perspective is valid and understandable.
