Neural nets are pattern generators, not knowledge generators. How did this not occur to anyone on the #Galactica team? #ml #machinelearning

I still think that #machinelearning is a misnomer. We could have called it "regression machines", "complex regression", "complex pattern generator". That eould have meant less grant money and less Nature papers, but also a lot less confusion about what #ml can and cannot do.
