I took some high level statistical analysis courses, randomly taught by an amazing statiscian who worked with a lot of high level researchers.
He always said if you want to get published, go into stats because no one wants to do it and it applies to fucking everything.
He also said that if you start out looking for something, it’s incredibly easy to build numbers around it and “prove” it even without intending to.
That’s my main concern with AI. Tell it to find a correlation and it will find a correlation. But it’s going to ignore that’s it’s bullshit. It can’t be objective and still look for something.
We probably won’t have AI at a level high enough for that till quantum computing really takes off. Decades more possibly.
And I think all the people in AI know it, everyone is just bald face lying to drive investor hype, but it’ll never materialize. The biggest companies are burning billions a year and using insane energy levels to keep the charade going that AI even at its current level is accessible for free.
