Philippe Lemoine(@phl43):The discourse about AI is cursed because whatever you say on the topic, if you don't have to deal with exalted people who explain to you that if you don't uncritically accept their fantasies about ASI that's only because you have insufficient faith in the Machine God, you will have to deal with people who seem to believe that human intelligence is generated by invisible fairies floating in the air and that no machine will ever be able to produce anything of the sort.
