Debating the Truth About AI: Accusations, Hallucinations, and Unbelievable Achievements
AI researchers have criticized both CBS and Google for overhyping AI after a 60 Minutes interview with Google CEO Sundar Pichai claimed that an AI program made by Google had learned a language it had never seen before all by itself.

The researchers also criticized the use of the term "emergent properties" and accused Google of spreading disinformation.
