"But whereas the core problem of symbol-processing AI was its lack of connection to context – the problem of situated cognition – the core problem of machine learning is the way in which it reduces the contextualised human to a machine-like source of interaction data." 2/
The user is effectively submitting to a comparison between their own actions and those of other people from which the model has been derived. In many such comparisons, the effect will be a regression toward the mean. 3/
If the user wishes to control or modify the model's behavior, they must do so at one remove, by modifying the data rather than the model. The user must second-guess an inference algorithm, trying to select the right combination of data to produce a model to fit their needs. 4/
