I’m sure there’s a company out there who uses some linear equation in their app that they came up with by dumping the data they had into Excel and running the linear regression “data analysis” on it.

So is y=7.4x+5 an “AI” running inside our app or is it just the output from an “AI tool” FTC?
- KRAKRISMOTT 4y agoReplace x and y with matrices and wrap everything in a non-linearity. Swap the 7.4 and 5 constants for variables a and b and set their values by taking the partial derivative of the with respect to the difference between the ground truth value and the predicted y. String together a bunch of these "smart cells" and observe that we can process sequences of data by linking the cells together. Further observe that if we have a separate set of cells (technically it's an attention vector, not quite a group of neurons) whose loss function is with respect to each individual token in the sequences, we can "pay attention" to specific segments in the sequences. Add a few more gates and feedback loops, scale up the number of cells to 10^12, and you basically have a state of the art chatbot. Capiche?
- graypegg 4y agoCapiche? I agree with you! Haha. I’m just curious where the FTC would draw the line. The root commenter made a good point that they seem to make a value judgement of what AI means. We can stretch that meaning pretty far if we want :)
