// Your contention amounts to saying bugs cannot be fixed, nor adjustments made, because the system is too complicated.
No. My contention is that there are no techniques that make these systems sufficiently interpretable _today_. Maybe we will be able to do it 10 years from now, but as of this moment it simply doesn't exist.
// Manifestly, that is not true.
Electrons are both a particle and a waveform. It makes no sense, and yet it is so. Insisting otherwise doesn't change the facts.
// Your combativeness does not strengthen your case.
My apologies, I tend to avoid posting because I gravitate towards edgy analogies and snark. I'm not trying to be combative, but it falls out of me.
Using patterns of statistical association is not, to me, a "brain in a jar." Maybe we don't know every association used by a facial recognition system to rank people by beauty, but we know symmetry and feature size are key. "Too complicated" is a copout, especially for systems such as social media news and video recommendations where the results are largely predictable. Anyway, I guess this is one of those agree to disagree moments.
