		How is this not any different than the Apple "you're holding it wrong" argument. I mean the critical reason for that kind of response being so out of touch is that the same people praise Apple for its intuitive nature. How can any reasonable and rational person (especially an engineer!) not see that these two beliefs are in direct opposition? If "you're holding it wrong" then the tool is not universally intuitive. Sure, there'll always be some idiot trying to use a lightbulb to screw in a nail, but if your nail has threads on it and a notch on the head then it's not the user's fault for picking up a screwdriver rather than a hammer. `> And these people have "engineer" on their resumes..` What scares me about ML is that many of these people have "research scientist" in their titles. As a researcher myself I'm constantly stunned at people not understanding something so basic like who has the burden of proof. Fuck off. You're the one saying we made a brain by putting lightning into a rock and shoving tons of data into it. There's so much about that that I'm wildly impressed by. But to call it a brain in the same way you say a human brain is, requires significant evidence. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. There's some incredible evidence but an incredible lack of scrutiny that that isn't evidence for something else.
