This is currently true for almost all human endeavors. We're beset with PR people deliberately promoting misconceptions and out right lies.
A recent article about "beewashing" is another good example of subverting human attention from real issues by over simplifying for the purpose of corporate PR.
We are constantly bombarded by noise and lies so we won't be able to make sound and rational decision about anything.
In recent years this transformed from a side effect of bottom line mentality to out right weaponization by powerful entities political and corporate.
- blazespin 7y agoEverything is a lie, until you're tautological. Machine learning itself seems a bit of misnomer. High dimensional curve fitting is a good description, imho.
