Assuming that you think that more AI research is good, wouldn't adding your voice to those who advocate it here be a good thing? It's not like your exalted position and towering authority lends credence to a contrary opinion just because you mention it.
I think better AI (of the can-be-engineered-given-what-we-know-today, non-generally-superhuman sort) is good, and I suspect that more AI research is the most reliable way to get it.
I agree that my exalted position and towering authority doesn't lend credence to contrary opinions I mention.
It's not clear to me whether advocating AI research here would be a better thing than other options, though it might be.
