@timnitGebru@dair-community.social My mom is a mathematician, long since retired from working as a Systems Analyst. I had asked her what her thoughts were on AI being used for complex mathematical computations and her response was pretty succinct, though I'll remove the curse words as mom is from Brooklyn and curses like a sailor. "When I had to model the stress distribution on an unused hull model over time, I couldn't use any existing model, they didn't account for any of the statistical noise unique to this model. I had to create entirely new Kalman Filters to do it. AI can't create, it can only copy." Side note, just to kvell a bit about my mom, some of those filtration algorithms she created are still in use today. They were novel enough at the time she created them that JPL patented them and named them after her.
