Humans do not make binary decisions. They're capable of realizing that their total confidence in a decision is low and thus use alternate strategies in that case.
"AI" on the other hand makes binary decisions and completely hides it's internal confidence rating.
- robwwilliams 1y agoNot my experience with AI at all. In what way do you mean AI makes binary decisions? I often ask AI systems for pros and cons and thy do as good a job as I would in many situations in which I am knowledgeable.
- themafia 1y agoIf you have a list of 1 million grant applications then simply asking the AI for a list of "pros and cons" on all of them is just going to drastically multiply the amount of work you're going to have to do. So I think it's clear from that and the context of the article that is absolutely _not_ how it's being used here.
- robwwilliams 1y agoYou are right given the context of the Science target article, which provides an example of proactive uses if AI to suggest innovative work.
- habinero 1y agoAIs don't actually use any of the generated "reasoning" they can spit out. If you find the word soup has spelled out something helpful, fine, but it has nothing to do with anything.
