I think it is worth pointing out that a lot of this, 'artificial stupidity' is simply a problem of scale. People may think of Google as a leading Ai company and in many respects that is true, but is so many others it is not. When Google utilizes a model it has to work across billions of users where the margins are tiny on each user, the models have to be damn simple. The industry has far better than what Google offers in most cases but because of Google's scale, stupidity is all they can afford.
- kordlessagain 7y agoI would add to this line of reasoning that companies don't particularly care about a given model one way or the other, as long as it makes them money and is easy to manage. Not all these models will be good for users, however, nor will they be obvious in the damage the model causes later in other systems.
