"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

They need to compete with the average driver. I'm a much worse driver when it is icy than when the pavement is dry - this is nothing about me, just conditions. However I live where those icy conditions happen often enough that we as a society do not consider it reasonable to shut everything down and so I'm forced to drive despite how bad I am. If self driving wants to compare to average, they need to compare the all the conditions that average is calculated in. They need to compare when the driver is drunk (low bar to be better), when the weather is bad (really hard problem), and when conditions are perfect. If they want to remove outliers they need to be fair in the removal - did they remove humans driving in bad weather too?
Drunks are a case where the majority don't drive that way. Thus those people have a reasonable expectation that you remove them from your average as it doesn't apply as we need to debate how much worse you can be with that outlier removed (assuming you are worse which we don't know).
