A statistical model cannot understand anything since it does not think in the first place.
- steve1977 3y agoThat implies that thinking is not based on some kind of biological statistical system.
- oddevan 3y agoCounterpoint: person hears 15 arguments. 14 say one thing, 1 says another. Person agrees with the 1 argument because it resonates with them more. I'm not saying the 14 are right and the 1 is wrong. I'm saying that the decision was not based on a statistical model.
- steve1977 3y agoNot so simple. Why did the argument of that one person resonate more? Likely because of some other „experience“ or data that is not necessarily expressed or codified in either of the arguments. That experience or intuition or whatever you want to call it can itself be based on some statistical „model“.
- macksd 3y agoNo, it's based on a statistical model that incorporates biases, like many statistical models.
