Artificial Quote by Geoffrey Hinton

“Everybody right now, they look at the current technology, and they think, 'OK, that's what artificial neural nets are.' And they don't realize how arbitrary it is. We just made it up! And there's no reason why we shouldn't make up something else.” quote by Geoffrey Hinton
