Many workers are faking knowledge of AI to make sure they aren’t left behind::There’s a need for more AI training, report finds
Seems to me that while companies are bullshitting calling generic algorithms AI, it's fine for the potentially employed to do the same.
I read an article the other day where an airline was breaking about using AI to predict how many passengers will buy a meal in flight based on how many people had historically bought a meal in flight.
That’s… Literally just an average of how many people order a meal…
Ehhhhh there are much more sophisticated models than just an average. What a neural network could do is derive inferences based on a wide variety of inputs like time of day, country of origin, individual passenger characteristics, and so on.
And what are you ? Some statistics wizard ??
My management assigned me a title implying high level AI person. Evidently they had a mandate for X% AI experts, so a bunch of us had our titles arbitrarily changed and the mandate was satisfied.
No one can tell we aren’t, so I guess it worked out?
I mean, if I know what a quadratic function and a gradient descent are, does this mean I have knowledge of AI? Then most people can be taught that in an hour (if they are sufficiently dense).
This is the way.
“Of course I’ve heard of AI. What a silly thing to ask! 😅”
Later, furiously looking up what AI even is
Fake it till you make it 😂
Well, they shouldn’t be. AI while often helpful in some cases, is not really that powerful like some marketers want you to believe.
If you’d believe everything what they say you would come to conclusion that we should all prepare for singularity or some other shit coming this year or next, which is just bullshit.
