Man vs Machines

Interesting Read - Link

Perspectives from Stylist

  • We knew from the beginning we were teaching the algorithm
  • In recent months, sending out boxes of clothing that were entirely selected by the algorithm
  • It’s like we’re constantly making the algorithm better by fixing their mistakes

Phases of this Progress

  • Stylist recommendation (Observed by ML)
  • Model Training based on recommendation (Learnt by ML)
  • The model recommends, stylist finetunes it (ML Leads vs Stylist Finetunes)

Other reasons are also cited - changes in flexible working hours, minimum working hours, etc..

I have the same perspectives about the Tesla humanoid robot, How many jobs it can automate/eliminate. Machines that will never get tired/frustrated. 

The interesting debate lives vs cost savings vs empathy. Hope we build machines balancing all these aspects. 

Keep Thinking!!!
