Blockchains make abundance scarce, AI introduces unreliability

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Blockchains, the technology underpinning cryptocurrency, are described as a method for making abundant resources scarce through computational means. In contrast, backpropagation algorithms, central to AI, are characterized as tools that introduce unreliability into otherwise precise computational processes. The author posits that AI models, through their statistical weighting and guessing, inherently make mathematical errors, unlike computers which are inherently precise. AI

IMPACT AI's reliance on statistical guessing rather than computation introduces inherent mathematical unreliability.
