Isn't that approach more of a brute force than a problem solved?

- jack_pp 2y agoDepends what problem you're trying to solve. Have we built something that can replace us completely in terms of reasoning? Not yet. We have built something that can multiply a single persons productivity and in some constrained scenarios replace people entirely. Even if say your customer support bot is only 80% effective ( only 20% of interactions require humans to intervene ) that still means you can fire 80% of your support staff. And your bots will only get cheaper, faster, better while your humans require salary increases, hiring staff, can get sick, can't work 24/7 etc. People so often forget that good is not the enemy of perfect.

- mrshadowgoose 2y agoNot sure why people keep falling into these mental traps. Regardless of whether the system you're deriding is a "Chinese room", "stochastic parrot", "brute force" or whatever other dericive term-du-jour you want to use, if the system performs the required task, the only thing that actually matters is its cost to operate. And if that cost is less than paying a human, that human, and society at large is in trouble.
