Keeper of the Funk
This is in fact something I struggle with at work. I have been trained to be a good engineer by understanding my algorithms and knowing what my code is doing. If I don't understand the inner workings of an AI, then it's hard for me to feel good about my work.One of the problems with modern Machine Learning techniques is that while they are very good at solving particular problems, it is difficult to peak under the hood and figure out what they are doing
AND YET. My customer doesn't give a damn whether I feel good or bad about my results. If I use an AI to generate results they like, they're happy and I get paid.
So it's complicated. I tend to sneer at the Young Punks who don't understand what their AI's are really doing. And yet their results may be better than mine. Which would YOU pay for?
