Huh, control theorists always try to rigorously prove the stability and performance of their algorithms. AI seems to be the opposite of that: just let the black box solve it and don't worry about any problems, we'll just add more training data if they happen!
- FirmwareBurner 1y agoYes! Let's spend 100x the resources on AI to do what a PID controller or Kalman filter can do.
- ethbr1 1y agoI’m less scared about 100x the resources (in most applications) in exchange for decreasing programmer time / need. What worries me far more is the lack of formalism around risk / boundary cases by undertrained teams using modern AI solutions. Anyone building on top of a thing should either understand (a) how it’s built in detail or (b) its specifications and behavior in detail. Most of these teams understand neither about LLMs.
