I read somewhere that the programmers wrote an algorithm and machine learning so complex that they themselves are unaware of how it could produce the outcomes
If you could predict the outcome of an algorithm created from machine learning, then you wouldn’t need the machine

That's a profound insight. The whole point of algo design is to produce outcomes we couldn't predict without the algo.

I suppose this is a rather simple assertion for ppl who specialize in tech...but I hadn't thought of it in that particular way before.
