Simplistic pattern recognition, and falling for false patterns, is the worst of human stupidity. This shit should be called artificial stupidity not artificial intelligence.

@dalias AI really stands for Artificial Idiot ;)

@dalias There is a reasonable use for ML here to prove a solution (or an approximation of one) exists *at all*.

But once you've done that, go figure out what the ML actually learned, turn it into a nice 20-line program you can reason about and tweak, and stop applying ML voodoo.

I mean this is what we do all the time anyway, it's just usually the "ML" bit is "a human brain".

@dalias I've been calling it Artificial Idiocy at work.

@editer @dalias maybe don’t do this though because “idiot” is deeply ableist
