Seriously, why do people do this? It's so useless and unhelpful.
Wozniak is just one of the people I mentioned, and as a tech luminary who is responsible for a lot of visionary tech that impacts our day-to-day, I think it makes sense to highlight his opinion, never mind that his name was sandwiched between some of the "founding fathers" of AI like Stuart Russell and John Hopfield.
Your post said very explicitly, "There are a lot of very smart experts on that signatory list" and then named Wozniak as an example of one of them. But Woz isn't an AI expert. It's entirely appropriate to point that out!
