I would like to see use case when AI selects data source to use that humans will never consider.



It's about weight relative importance, especially in conjunction with multivariate information that may be correlated.


I read a neat criticism of ai techniques. The author pointed out humans can pick out a strong signal as well or better than ai. Humans could pick out signal from an array of weak sources. Ai would identify that case with fewer weak signals required, but it was hard to trust because it was sometimes wrong.

I wish I could remember the source. Iā€™m sure it was an article here a few years ago. I want to say it was medical diagnosis based on charts.

Anyway, the point was there is a very narrow valley where ai is useful beyond an expert. And that valley is expensive to explore. And, there might not be anything there.
