Elizenery🔻Our innovative approach: instead of doing something, we simply do not do it. at a fraction of the cost

unlofl [Promoted Toot]@hannah obviously the model needs to be trained on a sample of typical responses from the specific population(s) to be surveyed.
... so, thats it, AI something something magically gets more precision out of the same dataset, by adding simulated data? They're saying the simulated responses are more accurate than the real responses???
@hannah Wait, I've got a better idea that will still cut their polling costs in half: we survey people but with half the standard sample size, then we run it all through a photo copier and tabulate the results. We'll get the normal sample size and accuracy!
Also, copy machines use a lot less power than AI, its win-win!
eclexic@theeclecticdyslexic @hannah Just asking your buddy and relying on a single data point would be funny, except the way Chuck Schumer has been making decisions is actually even worse because he asks his imaginary friends.

CurmudgeonThis could revolutionize statistical analyses.
You can greatly increase the sample size at almost no cost!
Reducing size of confidence intervals!
Clearly (48.136, 48.138)% is from a far superior study to one that reports (45, 51)%.
