What we need is AI to comment on current events as Rush. There is 30 years worth of data to teach such a system.

My son is in A.I.

He was working on Covid cures when Covid started.

I asked him how much science did you have in college, knowing he was a computer science in undergrad.

He said “1 class of biochemistry. You don’t need to know any science to do this”

I don’t get A.I.

A.I. does amazing things; the problem is, you can’t tell if they are amazing truths, or amazing B.S.

Wonderful! I work with old texts in por condition occasionally and I could certainly see this being helpful.

You’ll get A.I.

Just step on something sharp with your bare feet. ;)

"Missing gaps"? Wouldn't "gaps" be enough?

It would be cool if AI could fill in the missing books of Tacitus' Annals.

How do you know you achieve 72% accuracy if you do not know what constitutes 100% accuracy?

They used a lot of texts, many of which had already been figured out the old fashioned human way.

62% is lower than 65%
A 62 is an “F” grade.
I give these idiots and their AI an “F”.
They should all go to Las Vegas and predict the down cards of the who!e table.
It’s a bunch of BS because all the authors are ded.

It’s not a class, and they’re not idiots.

The 3D non-invasive tech they use now to read the scrolls from Herculaneum, and the alt spectral scans of old ones (I think the Oxyrhynchus Papyri are an example) have really recovered a lot of ancient texts. I wish the Herculaneum stuff were something other than epicurian philosophy. :^)

A lot of people confuse AI with an expert system. This sounds like an expert system to me.

AI to fill in missing texts.

Well, IA is the Great I AM.

I prefer IA over AI.
