Things have a bit more nuance, and the field of "learning" isn't as well understood as the ML proponents claim it is. SubiculumCode 1 month ago That is a strong statement. I guess you are telling Machine Learning to go fuck itself. bigfishrunning 1 month ago 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. SubiculumCode 1 month ago And what, to your mind, would classify something as learning? I assume that your position is not the hard "only humans/living creatures can learn" 1 reply →
