Machine learning is becoming sociology 2.0 in academia as opposed to remaining firmly in the grasp of STEM and it really sucks. These papers are completely meaningless beyond padding the resumes of grifters and deserve pushback. AI as a field is software, coding and maybe some math, not smart sounding essays and research papers from the same folks who built their careers around the cryptocurrency/NFT/Web3.0 dungpile while having zero hard skills aside from talking themselves into cushy jobs at startups.

It’s a mixed bag. I see a few researchers who have dozens of very similar papers to this one co-authored and others that actually seem to program models to progress machine learning. I still hold to the belief that anyone who doesn’t have copious amounts of programming experience should not be involved in academia related to machine learning. It’s not a space suited for people who don’t have a depth of hands on experience with the topic.
