Actually I think I use gradient descent in a lot of situations.
Consider the act of adding salt to chicken broth for example but I can quite easily think of dozens of other things.
- greysphere 4y agoAbsolutely. Gradient descent is a fantastic technique for a lot of problems. This and many other algorithms can be performed by both humans and computers and give useful results. Notice neither your or my comments connect any of this to learning. After numerous times making chicken broth, something will change about your brain/body and we will say 'you learned how to season broth.' We have basically no idea what this process is, or whether it relies on gradient descent or anything else.
- dnh44 4y agoHmm okay I see your point now.
