Nate Silver on AI language models
- gardenhedge 4y agoThis strikes me as an utterly pointless thing to say. It could be rewritten as "it's not useful unless it's useful"
- yunwal 4y agoRight, the same critique could be made of humans, but it’s not all that insightful. I wonder if this was his way at pointing out that AIs should be able to give you a confidence interval, but he also just likes to seem smart I think
- uejfiweun 4y agoThere are different classes of problem out there, and not all of them require 99.99999% accuracy. Self driving is tough, because the consequence for failure is death, and we still have a ways to go to get to human-level failure rates. But other tasks don't require this much accuracy, for instance I think ChatGPT could do the job of a lot of journalists right this second.
