Ignoring what anthropologists might say about our use of "cargo cult" as a derogatory term today, you make me wonder what an AI cargo cult should look like instead. Is it setting up a Turing Test chamber and leaving a seat open for the AI? Or trying to breed industrial robots? Or is it downloading someone else's model and trying to use it as a magic box without any concern for how it was trained nor any real intent to validate its output on your newly chosen domain?
