Artificial intelligence without the hype - UnHerd

Much of what you're about to read applies to the news in general, but it especially applies to news about technology. On this topic the question to ask yourself is not is this important or is it just hype? Hype about things that aren't important only matters if you mire yourself in triviality. As for things that are important, but don't get hyped, they will happen anyway – and someone, somewhere is almost certainly writing about them (if you look hard enough). However, when things are both hyped and important, the potential for serious misdirection is decidedly non-trivial.
