- electricviolet 7y agoOK, rephrase the question to "Does the way we've programmed computers to learn happen to resemble the way that humans learn?"
- vectorEQ 7y agono it does not
- patagurbon 7y agoOur models of human learning are crude at best. Some programs attempt to approximate those models. But it resembles how humans learn the same way a stuffed animal chicken resembles a T-Rex.
- martin-adams 7y agoThis is what fascinates me about machine learning. You can train an algorithm self adjust in ways that a human doesn't have the capacity to understand, which can then perform human like tasks. If we get good at allowing programs to generate programs that find new ways of learning. Is it still behaving in a way that humans program them, or has it shifted to a law of nature that is fundamentally out of our control. When it's all said and done, we decide if it was us, or a force beyond humans.
- ropiwqefjnpoa 7y agoProgramming that becomes more than just the sum of its parts. We can create systems or programs that can get beyond our "control" and function in unexpected ways.
