Speranza
Jones wrote in his Commentary to "Grice as intentionalist":
"One of these days AI researchers will stop making mistaken predictions of proximate success. possibly because of actual success."
Right. On the other hand, there's nothing wrong with Turing (who wasn't an AI researcher) making the optimist (if wrong) prediction. I love an optimist, as Vivian Ellis, did too!
The rule is old
So I've been told,
But still it's worth its weight in gold.
It pays you back a thousand fold,
So be enrolled
Upon the lists of optimists
And disregard the pessimists.
This life is short, so try to smile,
Each little while.
