François Fleuret asserts AI exceeds philosophy in understanding knowledge
François Fleuret of Meta FAIR and the University of Geneva asserted that machine learning and artificial intelligence have illuminated knowledge and reality more than twenty centuries of philosophy. He voiced willingness to defend the stance. Research engineer Taco Cohen challenged the assertion for lacking definitions of terms like understanding and the nature of knowledge in the exchange.
@francoisfleuret How can you make such a claim without first defining “understanding”, “nature of”, and “hot take”??
Hot take: machine learning and AI did more to understand the nature of knowledge, and our relation to reality than 20 centuries of philosophy. I am ready to kind of defend this hill.

@TacoCohen Understanding would be low validation error, nature of would be the source code?

@francoisfleuret @TMoldwin What do you mean by “knowledge”? 🙃
