Both? I'm not 100% following. I think people want to know the truth, change is slow and admitting mistakes is often looked down on. Humanity made significant changes based on what was learned in the past 100 years. How this will be used, and who will reap it's benefits is unclear.
- Dracophoenix 6y agoPerhaps I wasn't very clear. Would the general public accept the truth of a data model that proved that a previously controversial/unacceptable idea was factually correct to the point it could not be denied by a reasonable person? Several attempts at training with real world models have produced results that have been attacked for being "algorithmically biased". This isn't because there was anything experimentally wrong with the dataset or choice of model on their own, but because of the result's contradiction of a certain worldview. While, I agree with you that people come closer to the truth in the long-term, in the short- and medium-term, I expect certain people to pad their own data and quash the different findings out of ideological motivation for some time.
