It is not pseudoscience. Have you read about how it works?
- estearum 2mo agoYes, quite a bit actually. It's directly analogous to e.g. "Red sky at night, sailors' delight", i.e. a pseudo-scientific approach that probably has a better-than-random success rate.
- robotresearcher 2mo agoSo it’s a heuristic. Lots of very valuable heuristics exist.
- estearum 2mo agoNone of which is authoritative, per my initial comment.
- Tostino 2mo agoAnd I'd agree if that's what GP said.

- robotresearcher 2mo agoWhat name do you use for an approach that probably gets a better than random success rate (without guaranteeing that)? I’m leaving out the ‘pseudo-scientific’ part of GP’s description, since it doesn’t entail anything technically.
- Tostino 2mo agoI was talking about the root comment that just said "it's AI because this website said so", not the one about treating it like a heuristic. I agree with that.
