Excellent sentences: "My feeling is that ‘artificial intelligence’ is a public-relations name that obscures what’s really going on. It’s artificial for sure. But as for intelligence — the term is so broad that you immediately get lost in it. So AI is a poor name. If it was called ‘extremely rapid computation’, or ‘assisted data analysis’ or ‘cognitive prosthesis’ then that would de-emphasize the magical portions of it. You would be talking about what to do with it, not about making up a human mind or a consciousness." https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-04116-4
