Indeed, last time I checked, neural networks were invented way earlier than 2012. First neuron, 1943, McCulloch & Pitts. Perceptron, 1957, Rosenblatt. ReLU, 1969, Fukushima. Backpropagation, 1970, Linnainmaa. LeNet, 1989, LeCun. LSTM, 1995, Hochreiter & Schmidhuber. Etc.
NYT "AI" explainer misleads. Deep learning techniques date from the 1980s, & "AI" had been hot/cold for decades, not slow until 2012. There was no new "single idea" in 2012. What WAS new, & propelled the AI boom, was concentrated resources (data/compute) controlled by tech cos 1/

How lame is it, @elonmusk? Using a well-established acronym such as XAI as the name of a new company, how misleading is that? As a ML researcher, I don't appreciate it, as will likely not aim for trustworthiness, nor transparency.

Top notch methodology. tl;dr use AI for writing, it will magically reduce the amount of CO2 your produce, including COE induced by heating your home, driving your car, eating beef, etc. Humans are sooooo obsolete! 😂.
Exhibit 12304 on Why We Shouldn't Compare Humans to AI: ."Our findings reveal that AI systems emit between 130 and 1500 times less CO2e per page of text generated compared to human writers".Watch out, writers! Not only are you soon-to-be obsolete, you're also unsustainable!.🤦♀️🤦♀️

Indeed, the methodology is completely messed up. .
Look, you can't count the carbon emissions that people have for (check notes) existing as the "carbon cost" of the work that they do. >>.

Ooooh, so that's why they didn't release the details, for "competitiveness reasons". 🤠.
