the trend to name AIs after "normal" names (Douglas, Watson, Erica, etc) is weird. it feels like a new dot com era domain buy-up spree. similar to how right now we're all like "why didn't *I* register awesomecars.com in 1998, i would be rich now!", there may come a time when advanced AI makers wish that they could name their creations Greg

The glaring problem with AI 'Douglas' is that, even though the computer apparently has been programmed to be able to reproduce the face, posture, or gestures of its model human in 'every conceivable position', the computer has zero idea which of the millions of potential micro transitions to its virtual face and body that would be most appropriate to smoothly mimic a real human responding to unscripted input. It just jumps discontinuously from one unconvincing posture and expression to another. iow, it has excellent graphics and crap AI.

It's great that journals are getting authors to do plain language summaries along with the more technical abstracts.This one - from an article titled 'Potential and limitations of machine learning for modelling warm-rain cloud microphysical processes' - is plainer than most. 🙂 https://t.co/UyKoDvQPtT pic.twitter.com/W3a1OCrBxs— Tim Baxter #athome (@timinmitcham) December 5, 2020

A big reason why these blobs are so wonderful is they are not the source of the intelligence which is making the music. That's being supplied by real musicians.

Kosinski and coauthors, preemptively responding to criticism, take pains to distance their research from phrenology and physiognomy. But they don’t dismiss them altogether. “Physiognomy was based on unscientific studies, superstition, anecdotal evidence, and racist pseudo-theories. The fact that its claims were unsupported, however, does not automatically mean that they are all wrong,” they wrote in notes published alongside the paper. “Some of physiognomists’ claims may have been correct, perhaps by a mere accident.”
You may recall this is the same discredited charlatan Stanford prof who claimed AI could detect sexual orientation.

In my experience it is simultaneously true that
a) systems like this show very impressive performance;b) what you see in the demo is the cream of the crop and if you mess around with it yourself you'll quickly come to see what kinds of tasks it's good at doing and a much larger universe of superficially similar tasks it's not good at all at doing

i'm just saying a lot of these things that look like magic when you see the curated demo don't FEEL like magic when you play with them yourself, and that's because they are not, in fact, magic, just well-designed systems that do certain things and not other things

Lately every time I read a blog post or essay like this: https://marksaroufim.substack.com/p/machine-learning-the-great-stagnation
that completely loses track of its thesis--if it even has one--and just jumps around from topic to topic ranting a bit about each one, I wonder if it's going to be followed up in a couple of weeks with another "Ha! That last blog post was entirely written by GPT-3 and you fools couldn't even tell!!!"
