It is unpleasant to write this article. It pains me to listen to people who have had a successful trajectory in reference to IA, who have the possibility to be a guide and forward a powerful vision with responsibility, yet they seem to have hidden agendas and misguide the public abysmally.

The use of words is the signature of the character of an individual. In the words of Jordan Peterson:

In truth, we remain largely ignorant about the ontological reality of our own consciousness and what ultimately makes human intelligence possible.

Human intelligence is not simply the ability to design a marketing strategy or execute a complex multidisciplinary plan. Those are skills of implementation. The deeper layer of intelligence lies elsewhere: in our ability to assign value, to discern between competing propositions, and to decide what is worth aiming at in the first place.
