@ryanrandall If AI means what it has meant in the previous decades, automated heuristic decision-making, then we are in a strong AI boom, so it's not an unfair claim.
That could have been a good thing.
But we got here by various interests hyping it and pretending it as a step on the path to AGI, so that's what people believe "AI" means now, and the same interests are framing any problem statements as future sci-fi problems, hiding the problems right here right now with overreliance, accountability, safety, rights, transparency, personal integrity, power balance, resource distribution, applicability, sustainability etc.
