I'd like to "reclaim" both AI and machine learning as relatively emotionally neutral terms of art for useful software we have today or see a clearly articulated path towards.

Trying to get the most out of tools that sit somewhere between "the killer robots will eradicate humanity", " there goes my entire career", "fuck that guy with the skill I don't want to develop, let's take his career", and "I'm going to be so fucking rich if we can keep the wheels on this" is exhausting.

And the cognitive science thing.
