    OK, I suppose I see what you're saying, but I think headlines like this are important to shaping people's understanding of AI, rather than being dismissive - highlighting that, like with neuroscience, we are still thoroughly in the research phase rather than having end products to send to market.

      Yea, I'm with ya. Some people interpreted this as marketing hype, and while I agree with them that mysticism around AI is driven by this kind of reporting I think there's very much legitimacy to the uncertainty of the field at present.

      If everyone understood it as experimental I think it would be a lot more bearable.
