If you don't learn anything from reading, I think you're in the minority. I agree that active doing, writing, thinking are often better but those aren't the only ways people learn.
- rob74 4y agoYou don't learn anything from reading, you learn from understanding what you have read. Memorizing what you have read will only get you so far...
- zone411 4y agoYou're splitting hairs and being too literal. We're comparing learning from a lecture, a book or a video to learning from an AI. The amount of thinking is the same (or more if the AI is personalized).
- AstixAndBelix 4y agoDepends on what you mean by learning. Anything that requires active work (STEM subjects or crafts) cannot be learnt by just reading. Of course if you read a history book simply reading and remembering the information is considered learning in that case.
- zone411 4y agoI've been reading many machine learning papers to keep up with the field in the last year and only implemented some. Are you saying that I completely wasted my time reading by them and learned nothing?
- AstixAndBelix 4y agoIt depends. If you are well versed in ML then you know the concepts very well and have already played with them extensively. Thus reading a paper might be enough to learn it because you have done all the conceptual work up front. But even if you didn't learn the papers you still have built a mental catalogue of ML results that you can go back to learning when the occasion to implement them arises. So yes, you probably learned a chunk of them and some you simply remember, but that's ok.
