They do look weird to a lot of us. In excel, its trivial to fit a smoothed bendy line between points on a scatter plot. Because of the underlying math (taylor series) when you reach the end of your data points the line flings off into positive or negative INF.
AI super intelligence arguments have the same logic: the data ends so the interpolation now goes to infinity. This is such an obvious counter and these people know this math.
- gunshai 3y agoI'll be that guy for a moment. Extrapolation not interpolation, proceed with downvotes.
- ImaCake 3y agoNo, actually a good thing to point out. Extrapolation is just interpolation into the unknown and thus is subject to a great deal of uncertainty. It's a robust framework for argument from incredulity.
