  1. YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. I am an engineer, I work in control systems and this is my main beef with the pro-AI crowd. What most people do NOT understand is that AI is a fallacy. There is no logical explanation for what intelligence actually is and by logical we can't write out a general algorithm or set of formulas for what intelligence is. What we have algorithms that mimic specific human tasks that are basically repetitive. These claims that they learn are simply garbage. As an engineer its actually infuriating to watch people shamelessly promote imaginary technologies that don't exist or don't work and will never deliver as promised. Yeah we get called boring because we can actually use basic math for real world problems. The best PR & BS I have seen recently is Elon Musk's Starship, which he claims can take 100 people at a time to Mars. Problem is that NASA has already worked out the minimum volume needed in a space craft per person for that kind of travel. When the simple arithmetic is done Starship has barely enough space for 17 people not 100. It really would be a sardine can in space AND YET 1000s of people still believe Elon is going to whisk them off to Mars. The volume of techno PR garbage these days is staggering and yet so many people just suck it up as if its gospel fact.

What we have algorithms that mimic specific human tasks that are basically repetitive. These claims that they learn are simply garbage. You've hit the next major issue and that's calibration. All engineered tech needs to be calibrated either by actual testing or against an accepted standard. There is no standard for social media algorithms. There is no standard test for social media algorithms. We are just expected to accept what is being forced on us.

  3.  @ReIigionlsForIdiots  Who broke the rules - David P or Michael Osterholm? Neither broke the rules. They reported on what others had said and explained how it was WRONG. Debunking misinformation isn't spreading it.

  4. To all of David's viewers this is not the first time this has happened. Dr. Michael Osterholm (director of CIDRAP) had a video deleted by YouTube that debunked many of the ridiculous claims being made. Yeah - one of the world's leading experts on Pandemic response had one of his videos deleted for explaining how various quack claims were wrong. As others have posted this is what happens when algorithms make decisions instead of people.
