"Ugh" is not a substantial rejoinder. It's an apt analogy in my opinion. People keep waiting for AI to break out, and the argument here is it's not alone a product, it's a requisite tool for building them. AI, of course, is dependent on copious quality data, such that it fuels AI.

- skybrian 7y agoLike many memes, it's vivid for no good reason. The only relationship in common is that A depends on B. Everything else about it is misleading. Data is not fuel, let alone a fossil fuel. It doesn't provide energy and doesn't get used up.
- hirundo 7y ago> It doesn't provide energy Training a model with data reduces entropy in the model. Isn't a local increase in energy a decrease in entropy? > ... and doesn't get used up. With respect to the model, that data was useful before training and not useful after training. Its entropy lowering potential is decreased.
