Today's manmade horror: Bazingas on twitter are amazed that glorified chatbots like GPT-3 can produce readable text that is nominally about whatever topic you request. Say they just spent 20 minutes learning about physics. Say that this makes all existing forms of education obsolete. Say that teachers are no longer needed.
Directly below this someone else posted a prolonged dialogue where the GPT-3 bot calmly explained why a peregrine falcon is the worlds fastest marine mammal. When corrected it said that the sailfish is the fastest marine mammal, explaining that sailfish are warm blooded and have fur.
Bazingas think they can replace teachers (and everything else) with their half-baked machine learning systems because they're so ignorant and uneducated about anything outside their direct field of expertise that they don't actually know what any other disciplines do, or why they do what they do, or even how to evaluate when they're being fed bad knowledge.
Link for dunking.
I wholeheartedly agree, but rest assured nobody in machine learning applications is making that kind of money (from one job/employer).
Maybe there's one that got in super early and works on an actual framework or something.
Co-founder of Anaconda early?
EDIT: Ah, just looked at where OP's link went. I'm sure he's not that stupid, just doing PR.
Sure, if you're on the original cap sheet for a firm and manage to pass the buck to someone who'll pay you for it.
Nobody who got hired and is still in a role to do "stuff" with machine learning at any firm is making 300K though.
Yeah I got maybe a bit carried away by calling the guy stupid, but then he must think WE are stupid, which is worse.
