[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 9090452, member: 7023840"] Are you sure? Let me give you two famous examples of earlier AI screwing things up. One was for cancer screening. Skin cancer. Anyway, the AI was trained on images of skin cancer. The AI was as accurate as a human dermatologist at diagnosing malignant lesions. The problem was this- the image set it was trained on had rulers next to the malignant lesions, so the main factor that the AI was using was, you guessed it, the presence of a ruler. So this tells on very little about how people think. Second use. AI was trained to select resumes after combing through a data set. An audit of the AI found that the two factors that were most important for the AI were, wait for it, being named "Jared" and playing high school lacrosse. Because, again, it was trained on a data set of resumes that had been accepted by people. ... I would say the second example, unfortunately, gives us an unfortunate amount of insight into how people think. [/QUOTE]
