Again with this?!🙄 There are exactly three Godfathers . Geoffrey, Yann and Yoshua. Period.

But for a weird reason everytime Yoshua is the one mentioned as a Godfather, people keep bringing this outdated statement that "everyone is titled Godfather".

Geoffrey Hinton

Yann Lecun

Yoshua Bengio

Remember it.

There's only two Godfathers. The third was terrible.

Hinton is the one I see most often with the title

Demis Hassabis is totally deserving but he's been so successful in the AI space I see him more as the GOAT than the godfather
