Distraction from the real harm. Yawn.
- jazzyjackson 2y agowhat's the harm in a computer that can't spell?
- throwway120385 2y agoSomeone might naively think the computer can spell Kenya and will rely on it to spell Kenya. In actuality, the computer can't spell but rather builds its spelling of Kenya from previous spellings of African countries that it has seen, and since none of those countries were spelled Kenya the computer is incapable of countenancing a country called Kenya. Or someone might naively think that the computer can absorb a bunch of information about past borrowers and their records and then tell us whether a single person is a good borrower or not. When in actuality, the computer can't tell us anything about anyone and is incapable of distinguishing between the relevant and the irrelevant. So when we ask it if you're a good borrower or not, it bases its decision on whether or not you have dark blue or light blue jeans on instead of something relevant like the number of open credit accounts you have or the number of derogatory remarks on your credit report.
