- goatlover 4y agoYeah, AI models aren't people, with all the moral and emotional considerations that go with that. I never understood taking machine/biology metaphors literally, but compsci people seem to love it.
- birdyrooster 4y agoI think the compsci people love it because of some autistic sense of "I UNDERSTAND PEOPLE NOW".
- philbo 4y agoChildren learn by imitation, but they also learn by going to school and receiving directed lessons about specific topics. To me, machine learning seems like the imitation part without the going-to-school part.
- tsimionescu 4y agoIt's also notable that individual children learn from tens of orders of magnitude less examples (typically 1-10 examples for a child to learn a word). It may well be that at the evolutionary level we have learned as slowly as AI training, but that's much harder to say.
- dekhn 4y agoyou left out unsupervised clustering, which humans are excellent at.
