The majority of "AI Experts" online that I've seen are business majors.

Then a ton of junior/mid software engineers who have use the OpenAI API.

Finally are the very very few technical people who have interacted with models directly, maybe even trained some models. Coded directly against them. And even then I don't think many of them truly understand what's going on in there.

Hell, I've been training models and using ML directly for a decade and I barely know what's going on in there. Don't worry I get the image, just calling out how frighteningly few actually understand it, yet so many swear they know AI super well

And even then I don’t think many of them truly understand what’s going on in there.

That's just the thing about neural networks: Nobody actually understands what's going on there. We've put an abstraction layer over how we do things that we know we will never be able to pierce.

I'd argue we know exactly what's going on in there, we just don't necessarily, know for any particular model why it's going on in there.

But, more importantly, who is going on in there?

[-] Klear@quokk.au 12 points 2 months ago

And how is it going in there?

[-] GreenMartian@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 2 months ago

Not bad. How's it going with you?

That’s what we’re trying to find out! We’re trying to find out who killed him, and where, and with what! Tim Curry in Clue shouting the above text

Excellent opportunity for a “that’s what she said” joke.
