“An analogy that flips the script here is that some machine learning techniques, like “deep” neural networks, are perhaps as opaque as human thinking. They do amazing things. But no one yet understands exactly how.” Not to derail the thread too much, but this line of, “deep learning is a black box!” is so tired and dated that it makes me question the veracity of every other point being made in the article. Something of a Knoll’s law effect, I guess?
