Ever caught yourself anthropomorphizing your ML model's behaviour? It happens to me when discussing results with my colleagues. I admit my internal rigour police isn't happy doing it. There must be a more grounded statistical analysis to make the same point. Usually, our lunch time discussion on this topic goes in the direction of Al vs ML. I refer you to Micheal Jordan (Berkeley prof)'s famous rant that highlights the dangers of calling neural network generalization behaviour "intelligence".

I was recently asked about the warnings of an impending recession. Here are some thoughts. First of all, an inverted yield curve is effect, not cause. Like all other indicators, it shows lack of positive sentiment in investors in the bond market. A combination of events both in the near term (US China trade wars) and long term (decline in consumption) have deterred money from flowing. It is a mood thing, difficult to predict exactly why....Don't like Facebook's intrusion? Distressed by Nationalist leaders? They all count.
