In 2016 Hinton predicted that AI would replace all radiologists in five years. Ten years later, why hasn't it happened? This post is a great explainer.

AI isn't replacing radiologists
Radiology combines digital images, clear benchmarks, and repeatable tasks. But demand for human radiologists is at an all-time high.

"Every so often a new AI development comes along and great excitement ensues as people stumble over themselves convinced that the key to intelligence has been unlocked." Me writing about AI overhype 37+ years ago. Old dogs, old tricks. Yes, I did look like that. people.csail.mit.edu/brooks/idocs...

"It is less like designing a high performance automobile with lots of engineering, and more like buying a random horse and training it, hoping that it will be well behaved and do what you want it to do." 🤣
Today's new blog post on how the hype around each of Generative AI and Humanoid Robots is driven by similar pressures, with some slight differences in emphasis. rodneybrooks.com/parallels-be...

Every Jan 1 I post a scorecard on predictions I made, with dates, on Jan 1, 2018 on cars (self-driving), robots, AI, & ML, and on human spaceflight. Besides telling which turned out right and which wrong in the last year I also talk a lot of smack about these topics. rodneybrooks.com/predictions-...

I cannot express how bad this story is for generative AI. OpenAI is burning hundreds of millions of dollars to try and make GPT-5 a meaningful upgrade, and it isn't working. Where does all of this go? How does this result in anything?
