@tylercowen @martin_casado @GaryMarcus My only issue with @GaryMarcus is that he seems to be perennially grumpy. Why?? AI is a happy step in societal progress

@GaryMarcus If someone wanted to understand the last say five to seven years in AI, and how they have unfolded, your earlier writings simply are not where anyone gets sent. No one contests that.

@tylercowen That is so empty it’s beneath you. Given me actual things I said, with quotes or sources, that have been proven wrong.

@tylercowen Show me one of my predictions that has failed, aside from the specific test of the Winograd schema. I can given you dozens that have held strong for 20 years, almost with their origin in an understanding of distribution shift.

@GaryMarcus I observe that many people think they understand the term better than they do, and they use it to justify unduly pessimistic predictions that mostly have failed.

The statement by @GaryMarcus constitutes public discourse as it engages in a substantive discussion about the development and reliability of AI, which is a significant public issue. The tone is defensive and somewhat confrontational, aiming to clarify his stance on AI and promote his book as a resource for understanding his perspective.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not appear to cause harm directly, but the defensive tone could be seen as slightly confrontational.
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement respects the privacy and dignity of others, as it does not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech. [+1]
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement aims to promote understanding by directing others to a resource (his book) that explains his perspective on AI. [+1]
  4. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in dialogue but is somewhat defensive and could be seen as dismissive of the previous comments, which might be interpreted as a minor personal attack. [-1]
  5. Principle 5:
    I will acknowledge and correct my mistakes.
    The statement does not acknowledge or correct any mistakes, but it does not appear to contain any errors that need correction.
  6. Principle 6:
    I will use my influence for the betterment of society.
    By discussing the potential backlash of AI and promoting a resource for better understanding, the statement uses influence for societal betterment. [+1]
  7. Principle 7:
    I will uphold the principles of free speech and use my platform responsibly and with integrity.
    The statement upholds free speech principles and uses the platform responsibly to promote a substantive discussion on AI. [+1]
