People have been testing them for ages. There's something there, but not nearly as much as the hype implies. At the same time, the hype seems to only increase.
Anyway, I really like that name. Non-dataist AIs are clearly the best kind.
I really think the deep learning maximalists are leading us down a rabbit hole. We're going to waste a lot of digital storage and computing resources on creating bigger and bigger models for more and more diminishing returns, barring some breakthrough. Without a way of encoding expertise, which is limited right now, I don't think we're going to get the kind of performance that the uninformed public expects out of these systems.
