As always, they mis-spelled the acronym for "Machine Learning". There's nothing "Artificial" or "Intelligent" here but a mathematical algorithm operating on an algorithmically-encoded dataset.
If anything, it's closer to an encryption algorithm where the keys can decrypt deterministic parts of the plantext from the cyphertext and soften the edges a bit.
- short_sells_poo 4y agoI like to equate it to a lossy compression.
- mattnewton 4y agoAuto encoders really hit this home for me- you are trying to find an efficient compressed notation of the dataset, and the most efficient way to do that hopefully ends up learning useful rules about the data.
- nl 4y agoCompression is intelligence[1] - which goes to point out exactly how misguided the OP's attempted distinction between ML and AI is. [1] http://prize.hutter1.net/#motiv http://prize.hutter1.net/#motiv
- IanCal 4y agoThis is a long lost battle since AI has been a term used to describe far simpler things than that for over 60 years.
- drdeca 4y agoWhile I don't really endorse it, I understand the objection to a name with the word "Intelligence" as part of it. I don't understand the objection to the word "Artificial". Why do you say that there's nothing "Artificial" about these programs. Now, they may be contexts in which you could call a program "natural" in the sense of, "the natural way to do something", but, at the same time, are not all computer programs, in a different sense, artificial?
- etiam 4y agoAlso very confusing, they misspelled "Bad" right at the outset. (Though I do find that can be a slightly useful signal about the sort of reasoning to be expected and how much attention to pay to it)
