They had the time to find and interview Gebru and Bender to say that AI will never be smart enough to matter (which, in 2026: cmon), but not to engage with a single actual paper on the subject. Instead they just tossed some faces on a gradient, said that their reasoning is “not clear”, and moved on. Maybe, idk… maybe the books and papers and stuff might help? Or you could interview them?
Sources for the claim that AI scientists are “bad scientists”? Well, let’s run em down:
- some people speculated they are, without specifically citing an argument, figure, or even vague group.
- there’s a plausible motive for them to lie, as they want their field to exist and be important.
At least the climate change doubters had some data! These folks only remembered to bring the spurious allegations part. Kids these days…
