I'm not an expert in AI, I will admit. But I'm not a layman either. We're all anonymous on here anyways. Why not leave a comment explaining what you disagree with?
I want to just understand why people get so passionate about explaining how things work, especially in this field where even the experts themselves just don't understand how it works? It's just an interesting phenomenon to me
Seems like there are a lot of half baked ideas online about AI that seem to come from assumptions based on some sci-fi ideal or something. People are shocked that an artificial intelligence gets things wrong when they themselves have probably made a handful of incorrect assumptions today. This Tom Scott talk is a great explanation of how truth can never be programmed into anything. And will never really be obtainable to humanity in the foreseeable future.
Yeah! That's probably a good portion of it, but exasterbated by the general hate for ai, which is understandable due to the conglomorates abusive training data
