See, THIS is What AI is For

 I have a love/hate relationship with machine learning. Partly because people use it for things that need to be done by people. (People who know me have heard my quip about things which should not be left unsupervised.

One thing it does very well, though, is comb through vast quantities of data for patterns. ExoMiner has found over 300 new exoplanets in the old Kepler data (I have a dim memory of when they were asking citizen scientists to help train it).

Until AIs are people, though...can we stop using them for stuff like, oh, I don't know, trying to provide customer service beyond the very basics? Or banning people from Facebook...
