I’m disappointed in all the anthropomorphizing in this thread. Time and time again, we make analogies for how black box ML algos must work like people, only for researchers to come along and show that they actually just use shortcuts that don’t remotely resemble human learning/thinking.
When will we learn to stop being overconfident about how these things work? Just say “we don’t know yet.” Anthropomorphism and overconfidence are dangerous in that we could set the wrong precedents (culturally and legally) for how these are used and how automation affects society.
