    1. Google has become nearly unusable for me because of those AI-generated summaries, and I'd hate to see Wikipedia head in the same direction.

      I'm not 100% sure but I think the way how Google and Wikipedia would use it is different.

      The proposed use here in Wikipedia directly summarizes the content of the article where you are reading the summary.

      Whereas in the Google case it may be using knowledge embedded in the model itself, plus summarizing some choice among the search results.

    2. Wikipedia has in some ways become a byword for sober boringness, which is excellent. Let's not insult our readers' intelligence and join the stampede to roll out flashy AI summaries. Which is what these are, although here the word "machine-generated" is used instead

      The contributor says it's OK that Wikipedia has "become a byword for sober boringness".

      They also take the (in my opinion) correct decision of calling it "machine-generated" as a way to hide what they think should be called "AI-generated" (which is an ambiguous term that doesn't help with discussing the topic).

    1. Connectionism has had many "waves" since its beginnings. The first wave appeared 1943 with Warren Sturgis McCulloch and Walter Pitts both focusing on comprehending neural circuitry through a formal and mathematical approach,[2] and Frank Rosenblatt who published the 1958 paper "The Perceptron: A Probabilistic Model For Information Storage and Organization in the Brain" in Psychological Review, while working at the Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory.[3] The first wave ended with the 1969 book about the limitations of the original perceptron idea, written by Marvin Minsky and Seymour Papert, which contributed to discouraging major funding agencies in the US from investing in connectionist research.[4] With a few noteworthy deviations, most connectionist research entered a period of inactivity until the mid-1980s. The term connectionist model was reintroduced in a 1982 paper in the journal Cognitive Science by Jerome Feldman and Dana Ballard

      why would it be discouraged
