Modeling is a new form of pseudo-scientific speculation. ML is closer to reality as long as the training sets are not a dogmatically interpreted noise, like it usually is in finance and other pseudo-sciences.
You could read about a fundamental difference between a properly controlled, replicable scientific experiment and computer simulation according to some abstract/unverified model and why results of such simulations cannot be substituted for experimental results or any form of evidence in my older comments.
- siddboots 10y agoWhat do you mean by "modelling" here? Your criticism seems to span everything from physical simulation to statistical inference. It sounds kind of like you think that all attempts to codify human knowledge are bunk!
