  • The article discusses four fallacies in modern AI that hinder progress: the illusion of a smooth continuum, the paradox of difficulty, the seduction of wishful mnemonics, and the myth of the disembodied mind.
  • These fallacies lead to misplaced trust, overhyped expectations, and premature deployment of AI systems in high-stakes domains, causing real-world consequences.
  • The tension between the Cognitive Paradigm (intelligence as embodied and integrated) and the Computationalist Paradigm (intelligence as scalable computation) defines the AI field.
  • The boom-and-bust cycle of AI funding, driven by hype, starves foundational research and erodes public trust.
  • The article calls for a pragmatic synthesis of scaling and cognitive science to guide AI development responsibly.
