How is this phenomenon of very weakly grounded research called? Science washing or something?

- GuB-42 2y agoI don't know why exe34 has been flagged/downvoted to death, because pseudo-science is absolutely the right answer. But this isn't it, the paper is fine. It is peer-reviewed and published in a reputable journal. The reasoning is clearly described, there are experiments, statistics and a reasonable conclusion based on these results which is "The overall findings indicate a strong propensity to overtrust unreliable AI in life-or-death decisions made under uncertainty." And as always, nuance gets lost when you get to mainstream news, though this article is not that bad. First thing because it links to the paper, some supposedly reputable news websites don't do that. I just think the "alarming" part is too much. It is a bias that needs to be addressed. The point here is not that AIs kill, it is that we need to find a way to make the human in AI-assisted decision making less trusty in order to get more accurate results. It is not enough to simply make the AI better.
