Not sure what AI mysticism is, nor how you arrived at the conclusion that statistical learning models will come up with thunder gods.

- drdeca 13y agoMy uninformed guess is that they mean that a statistical AI system might come to similar conclusions as humans such as concluding that there exist thunder gods, while a non statistical type (one with just "reason") would not come to that conclusion about thunder gods, and as such would not as accurately model humans.
- Daniel_Newby 13y agoSimple models of correlation and causation often make bizarre predictions, like the famous conclusion that pirates cause global warming. A statistical learning system cannot step outside its own predictions to fix such problems.
