By the ELM paper you mean ELM: Embedding and Logit Margins for Long-Tail Learning https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.13208 https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.13208 ? The gotchas point that this tool unable to understand the letter s and more is just that, a tool, a fancy hammer, in no way it is an arm, and even less it is a brain-mind-agent knowing which nail to hammer and how that nail will fit in the larger picture. And as any tool, it comes with its own downsides. Sure, some sweatshops will be replaced by some even more middle managers managing themselves and the increase of the shareholder profit will continue. The completely messed up state of the world is not a technological issue and will not be solved by technology.
