So, I was in an academic research meeting yesterday where someone speculated that "maybe if the machine learning tool is aware of the bias, it will correct for it."

Just one random symptom of how #AIHype of machine super-intelligence can act as a distortion of reality.

Of course the underlying issue here is that there's no thought process or awareness at play here.

Plus, I think there was a conflation of generative AI and classification by deep learning.

The #AIHype problem at play is the spreading illusion that all AI and ML techniques contain self-aware fairy dust that makes out as smart colleagues rather than flawed and sometimes problematic tools.
