It is a genuine message. It is also simple. But it isn't actually true. Computers are not able to learn like humans : the learning process is entirely different. And what they learn is different - even though it can be visualized in a way that makes it look 'humanlike'.
These techniques are impressive, and yhat is demonstrating that they are very capable. It's just that I feel a little sad that the 'AI pitch' is being turned on, when the 'really good tech' is a much more valid way to understand what they're doing.
- legel 10y agoThanks for the 'really good tech' comment, I'll take that on HN any day. I'm sure we could agree on many structural differences in human and machine learning, and in that sense, I'd agree that it makes sense to be clearer about them.
