I don't know if I count as someone responsible :) but I named two
(TD-Gammon and spam filtering); I can name some more if you like.
*Everyone* counts as someone responsible.
Now, the next argument is -- how effective are these systems, both in
general and at being general?
TD-Gammon seems to be a pretty limited application (i.e. it's bad at being
general) and spam filtering tries to be general (though, this is arguable
since most spam filters actually use a small bunch of human-generated tricks
to generate a large number of rules) but has an effectiveness level far
below what is desired.
Richard's argument is that a system that has all four of his features of
doom is going to be too complex to extend to general effectiveness and
effective generality.
I'm not sure that I agree (in fact, I don't) but there aren't any systems
out there that clearly disprove his thesis.
