They keep trying to make "correlation is cognition" happen. Through asserting: 1️⃣ models with only correlationist powers (data and correlations over that data) work well & 2️⃣ our own cognitive powers are no different to these machines, which can only rehash the past. @andreaeyleen.eurosky.social 1/

While I agree that AI is over-hyped, the "it's only correlation" argument ignores higher-level, emergent effects. It's like saying Simone Biles's performance is only Newtonian mechanics.

I see words here, but that doesn't correlate with the communication of meaning.
