1. “Yeah, I think it's a little of both. But it has some good size because I personally was attracted to the field because I was interested in phenomenon of intelligence. And if it was called complex information processing, maybe I'd be doing something wholly different now.”

2. “Not crazy about the term. I think it has a few problems because it means so many different things to different people. And intelligence is one of those words that isn't very clearly defined either. There's so many different kinds of intelligence, degrees of intelligence, approaches to intelligence. John McCarthy was the one who came up with the term artificial intelligence. And from what I read, he called it that to differentiate it from cybernetics, which was another Related movement at the time, and he later regretted calling it artificial intelligence. Herbert Simon was pushing for calling it complex information processing. Which got nixed, but you know, probably is equally vague, I guess.”
