Just chuck more data at it and hope for the best! It's a pretty fun strategy even if it fails a lot
I'm convinced they're just into machine learning because of the funny mistakes they make
That's honestly one of the best parts about it. Reading error messages and thinking logically is boring compared to trying to guess how this stupid LLM got the idea to spit out what it did.
ML honestly sounds like a maddeningly dull profession to me because of this. It's a cool technology but jiggling hyperparameters and then waiting would grate on me.
