How 'adversarial' attacks reveal machine learning's weakness

Food for thought, but no reason to panic or be alarmist! It is by now well understood why adversarial attacks work and it is only a matter of time before most of these attacks will be defeated!

To publish research papers on adversarial attacks is almost trivial or like a quick and easy/lazy hit job to get published! I am not sure why these papers are still accepted in such large numbers at prestigious conferences! Is it a fad?
