Yeah, I looked it up yesterday and saw that artificial cognition is a thing, though I must say I am not a fan and I certainly hope this term does not catch. We are already knee deep in bad terminology because of artificial intelligence (“intelligence” already being extremely problematic even with out the “artificial” qualifier in psychology) and machine learning (the latter being infinitely better but still not without issues). If you can‘t tell I find issues when terms are taken from psychology and applied to statistics. The terminology should flow in the other direction, from statistics and…

Are deep nets AGI? No, but they're a lot better than Mr.Chollet gives them credit for.
