Timnit Gebru (she/her).This whole "this is how humans learn so whats the difference" thing while stealing so much data to make billions for a few dudes is so insidious.

@timnitGebru it isn't how humans learn though: if you see a deer once, you know what it is the next time you see it. You don't have to see it on a thousand different backgrounds from a thousand different angles to know what a "deer" is.
Chris Renfrow@ryangermann @timnitGebru but that's also because humans generally know how to reason about 3D-space and can predict what something looks like from another angle if we've seen other things like it.
@crenfrow true, ...but humans can see a 2D PICTURE of something and recognize it in 3D without having to look at hundreds of pictures. The suggestion that what-we-call AI is actual "intelligence" is oversimplified to the point of being inappropriate, but it's what people have latched onto.
The fact that a great dane can recognize that a chihuahua is something whose ass it wants to sniff is remarkable. When an AI knows what asses it wants to sniff, THEN we've achieved something.
