To be fair, you can't control what humans optimize what you're trying to teach them either. A lot of times they learn the opposite of what you're trying to teach them. I've said it before but all they managed to do with LLMs is make a computer that's just as unreliable (if not moreso) than your below-average human.
As somebody who spent my life studying AI, these are remarkably different things.
Machine learning models are basically brute forcing things. Humans have the ability to actually think.
That's a stretch for an inordinate number of humans, sadly.
I work with a bunch of poor kids who are trying to lift themselves up in life.
Same as I was. You do you.
