ML models are created and driven by human intervention. Humans are biased (in various directions). All models are biased in one way or another.
Now, you say this article should engage this counterpoint, but you haven't actually made a point. You've simply narrowly constructed "all models contain bias" to view only attempts to balance known bias with skepticism. You also fail to take a position on what we should do about this -- we're forced as readers to assume your conclusion is that counter-bias programming is bad and the status quo is good. That is wrong, but you don't actually say it so now that I've said it out loud you can complain that you're misunderstood or I'm making false assumptions about you, then continue to argue without ever stating your thesis about what should be done.
What's your belief? What's your suggested course of action? Take a stand for what you really believe.
- weberc2 8y agoWhy do you think I need to have a solution to the problem in order to call out a bad faith article? How do you get from "weberc2 doesn't have a solution" to "readers are forced to believe weberc2 favors the status quo"? Does AOC need to have a solution in order to call out the status quo? If so, what is her position? I didn't see it in the article.
