Generating a set of weights is not learning.

would you say that airplanes don't fly because they don't flap their wings? it's possible to achieve the same things with different approaches.

  • I would say airplanes fly, but I wouldn't say that submarines swim. Things have a bit more nuance, and the field of "learning" isn't as well understood as the ML proponents claim it is.

That is a strong statement. I guess you are telling Machine Learning to go fuck itself.

  • No, Machine Learning is an unfortunate name for a well documented process for creating black-box classifiers. The process is good, the name is not.
