> First, the AI hype train. Yes! I really wished we would call this something more descriptive of the boring statistics involved. Artificial Intelligence is just too cool sounding name not to get excited about it. And what people don’t realize is that this is really just a statistical inference model, nothing intelligence. Machine Learning is better, but it is still not descriptive enough. I think if we called it something like Computational Reinforcement Modelling or Iterative Weight Inference people might stop having the idea that there are machines making “smart” choices involved and finally seeing that really we are just inferring based some computations on provided data. Really, “Machine Learning” deserves no more hype than the boring sounding Kalman Filter.
