> I think people (especially tech enthusiasts) are getting caught in the gullibility gap. I think it's that coupled with inserting their own often fanciful projections to fill the void and gaps between the lack of understanding how the mechanics works. Here is a good example of influencers laboring under this narrative [0] and a glimpse as to why it's so effective and pervasive. I'm conflicted, because I think this is precisely what keeps many Corps and VCs throwing money into this tech thinking it's just right around the corner, as, I'm also studying AI and ML, but I also realize how implausible AGI is in my lifetime given where we are and how narrow parameters these algos function in to yield some degree of accuracy and more specifically how many errors there are to do so as it's just part of the process--learning how gradient descent works was pretty eye opening. The Marketing has made many people not just fall into a gullibility gap as they make it seem like some sort of black magic, when it's really just statistics fed with immense amounts of specific data, but influncers make it seem like it's capable of ending the World (Elon) when in reality people should be more worried about big tech's capability at aggregating data points from info people willfully post online to exclude you or cluster you into a certain group because of your use of free apps and selling it the highest bidder which are tied to your real ID. Or the algos with weights (biases) that are used and bundled into outsourced/automated HR solutions. 0: https://youtu.be/jdIyNMkusLE?t=1268 https://youtu.be/jdIyNMkusLE?t=1268
