#4I have a browser extension that replaces the phrase "Artificial Intelligence" with the phrase "A bunch of if statements". This might have been one of the top results.

I'm also quite dismissive of AI overuse. My preferred substitution is s/Machine Learning/Machine Guessing.
However, these are 3 people who overcame a lot of nay-sayers to prove some something could actually work. I remember back in university the lecturer said that neural networks couldn't scale because of the vanishing gradient problem.
It was actually very easy to be critical, you want fit a massive number of parameters which are not-very-orthoganal to an under constrained problem? Sounds pretty dumb to me!
I think these 3 deserve recognition for their tenacity and the new world of "under defined gradient decent", sometimes called DL, which they opened up.

#7I have the feeling this got so many upvotes because people think this is related to the turing test. And that we have a chatbot now that can trick the average person into thinking it's a human.
It's not.
It's about some incremental progress in making neuronal networks classify stuff.

Pretty sure the Turing award is at least as well known as the Turing test.

"Pretty sure" how?
Google trends seems to indicate the opposite.

But it's not about "well known" anyhow. It's about significance. A turing test winning chat bot would be a much bigger breakthrough then an incremental improvement in image and text classification.

The description available on the ACM website right now doesn't mention AI: "For conceptual and engineering breakthroughs that have made deep neural networks a critical component of computing." [0]
As it should be. The whole AI buzz misleads people into thinking we are close to solving things we actually are not. Like upload filters capable of differentiating fair use and copyright infringement.
