> I don't disagree but it's such a shit advancement. It eschews making technology & understanding closer.
I'm pretty sure the EXACT Same argument was made after the invention and proliferation of the assembly line and industrial mass production.
> It's an alien, a remote expert system, that 0.1% of the 0.1% of AI practioners have even the faintest real-ish understanding of
Just because a novel new technology seems alien to you, and people are still figuring it out when its brand new doesn't mean it's ungrokkable or that we can't train and develop ways to better understand, design, use, diagnose, etc AI systems.
> None of this shit informs ... it's utterly without soul or character or purpose,
Outright false and demonstrates a profound misunderstanding of what Machine Learning is and can be used for. Again, just because you don't understand doesn't mean no one else does or can. A tool does not need a soul to find a purpose, and the purpose you find for it need not be the purpose that it was originally intended for it to still be of use and provide value.
> And humanity will spend the rest of my life obsessing over it & fascinated with it.
Yes, welcome to technology. This particular one is going to change society, in big ways, for better or worse, but is absolutely extremely useful, purposeful, and full of potential.
