We're living through an inflection point for artificial intelligence: From generated images and video to advanced personal assistants, a new frontier of technologies promises to fundamentally change how we live, work, and play. And yet for all the buzz and concerns about how AI will change the world, in many ways, it already has.
From spam filters and sentence suggestions in our email inboxes to voice assistants and fitness tracking built into our phones, countless machine learning tools have quietly weaved their way into our everyday lives. But when we're surveyed about which everyday technologies use artificial intelligence and which don't, we aren't particularly good at knowing the difference. Does that matter?

Correction: At 3:22, we mistakenly suggested that the difference between machine learning and deep learning is that in deep learning, data hasn’t been structured and labeled by humans. Deep learning can use unstructured and unlabeled data, but the main differentiating factor is that deep learning uses many layers of neural networks, a branch of machine learning inspired by the human brain.

3:25. There is deep learning with labeled/structured data sets, it's supervised learning. With "trained on unlabeled/unstructured data" you are probably referring to unsupervised learning. Both paradigms can be deep learning though. Deep learning does not necessarily mean unsupervised learning (training on unlabeled/unstructured data sets).

[@Imperial_Squid]

I think we should draw a distinction between labelling and structuring, while labelled vs unlabelled does refer to supervised and unsupervised learning, I interpreted "structured" to mean whether feature engineering was being done, in which case feature-engineered traditional ML and non-feature-engineered "quantity over quality" DL would be a valid distinction

[@aymanbenbaha]

What is in your opinion the distinct feature of deep learning that makes it different than machine learning in general?

I'd be curious as to whether the survey question asked about "all AI, including algorithms" or just "AI". Because in the last year or two, "AI" in common speech refers to "generative AI" like DALL-E and ChatGPT. And if we're talking only about those sorts of generative AIs, then I think people's responses are much more accurate. If we asked people "how often do you interact with algorithms," I think a lot more people would say "every day."

[@cylian8422]

The thing is, most algorithms are not AI. And to be specific algorithms and AI are mutually exclusive. AI became a thing, because algorithms wre not enough

[@dinhero21]

​@cylian8422 (I watched the video further and it talked about this exact paragraph but still read it if you want) I don't really like to use AI (Artificial Intelligence) since I find it too generic so I will use ML (Machine Learning). There could exist AI that is not an Algorithm (a set of sequential instructions with conditional branching) but virtually all ML are algorithms. So ML (and the vast majority of AI) are a subset (type) of Algorithms and not mutually exclusive. What you probably mean by Algorithm is a Handcrafted Technique which are basically algorithms that instead of being composed of many parameters (weights and biases), are static in the sense that once they are programmed they don't change.

[@reecord2]

That's the key point - whenever we talk about AI, we have to agree on what we consider "AI" for that particular conversation, because AI programming languages have been around since the 70s.

The definition used for deep learning was instead the definition for unsupervised machine learning and the definition for machine learning used was the definition of supervised machine learning. I'm not sure how this was mixed up but it could have just been left out if it wasn't going to be checked.

[@Imperial_Squid]

Kinda yes, kinda no, unsupervised ML still uses data "structured" by humans, since we design the data the model will be learning from (termed "feature engineering"), even if the actual results/classifications aren't given (which is why it's called "unsupervised") (I know you probably know these terms, definitions added for others reading this comment) I think the distinction Vox were trying to make was between feature engineered ML and non feature engineered ML, which would be an accurate way to separate vanilla ML from DL, by also saying "when that data hasn't been _labelled_ by humans", they accidentally confuse DL and unsupervised ML in summary, if you design the data that goes in and say what the correct answer is, that's supervised ML, if you design what goes in but don't say what the answer is, it's unsupervised ML, if you don't design what goes in and just use quantity over quality, that's DL (you can also split DL into supervised and unsupervised but it doesn't make much difference to the actual model you're using)

predictive keyboards go way further than most people even know. each individual letter’s sensitivity on a digital keyboard changes as it predicts what letter you’re more likely to use next so we make way less typos. example: you type want to type the word “back” when you touch “b” the keyboard knows the next letter is likely to be a vowel so the sensitivity of “a,e,i,o,u” go way up along with letters like “l and r” that usually follow “b” and the really unlikely letters like “q,z,k” that would almost never be next the letter “b” shrink so it’s almost impossible to accidentally type out “bqck”

[@macroxela]

3:08 that's actually supervised machine learning, not machine learning in general. 3:20 and that is unsupervised machine learning not deep learning. Deep learning is machine learning that uses artificial neural networks to learn. It may or may not used data that has been classified by humans (supervised or unsupervised). Machine learning is just applying statistics with computers to learn patterns from data. The definition of artificial intelligence though is pretty spot on. It's mainly an umbrella term for techniques and problems researchers don't know where to place. My old algorithms professor summarized it quite well: "AI is whatever humans can do but we haven't figured out how to make computers do it. Once we figured it out, it just becomes a part of algorithms or some other known field."

[@antigonemerlin]

It is funny how the pattern in the past used to be that when a technology becomes advanced enough, it ceases to be called _AI_ and just being that thing. AI is a marketing term, not a technical one, and will do a commensurate amount of damage as consultants try to shove AI into thousands of places where it doesn't belong, much like we did with cloud, and much like we did with big data, and then before that, much as we did with the internet.

I kind of hate how Vox is using this series to launder the reputation of Deep Learning models and LLM's. There's no question of where they get their training data from raised, and in particular the artists and writers and programmers whose livelihoods have been stolen by companies like OpenAI or Microsoft using their work without permission as training data. By just saying "it's already here, you're already using it everday," Vox fails to recognize the difference between the small scale AI trained on the individual users of that software for their own benefit (like spell check or text suggestions on a phone keyboard) and those larger, generative models.

[@BigSleepyOx]

But humans have been "stealing" that data for centuries already. Let's say that I want to make an oil painting of the Eiffel Tower, so I go to the internet and find a New York Times photo of the Eiffel Tower, and proceed to paint my oil painting based on that image. Nobody would say, "OMG, you stole the source image to make your painting without first getting New York Time's permission!". But now let's say someone told an AI to generate an oil painting image of the Eiffel Tower, and that AI had been trained on photos that included the same New York Times photo, and the AI used that photo to generate the oil painting image. Now people accuse the AI (or the programmers of teh AI) of "stealing" the source image without New York Time's permission. Why is the latter case "stealing" but not the former case?

[@TheManinBlack9054]

"launder the reputation of Deep Learning models and LLM's" huh? Why would they need laundering? I dont think you understand how AI works. There are MANY types of AI, the latest generative AI (as opposed to discriminatory AI) not always uses something that is not theirs (for instances there are models that are using either either proprietary databases or proprietary and public domain). The point of this video is to show that you HAVE been using AI for a long time, and thats true. That "small-scale" AI have not been trained on your particular data, its been trained on a lot more data. We need interviews with real AI scientists so that people would actually understand what AI is. There has been a great interview with the CEO of Google Deepmind on Dwarkesh channel, I suggest a lot of people should watch it.

For one, the machine learning/deep learning distinction is not correctly described, but also it doesn't give the viewer the language to describe different functions that are more pertinent to their concerns about AI. To use the previous example again, someone who is concerned about "AI images" but uses insta filters every day probably doesn't have the language to describe their anxieties about image synthesis. So, idk, this video feels like it could have been edited down severely and conveyed just as much accurate info, which is disappointing.

Thank you for this information

[@theodericstrider5780]

I would be very interested in a Vox video thst talks about the way ads have changed, both for tv and youtibe.

[@ohology]

All I gotta say is thank goodness we have people who are thinking about these sort of issues and publishing/reporting on them. Can you imagine if we let people who design AI go unchecked. Good job Vox.

[@Queening]

5:57 wow

[@benjamingeist1526]

Correction: you said “when that training data hasn’t been labeled and structured by humans, that method is called deep learning.” This is not true- it is called unsupervised (or self supervised) learning. Deep learning is the use of neural networks.

[@jermainebeea1444]

AI doesn'tt mimic human creation, it superseeds it.

[@Testiculon]

Most people don't even understand what the internet really is.

Video about Ai sponcered by an Ai company. Smh

[@JustaNobody-j8x]

AI is everywhere now, it’s like we’re living in a world where tech is running our lives behind the scenes, making you wonder who’s really in control.

I am terrified.

[@reddcube]

Why can’t we still classify all those examples as Machine Learning. AI is a meaningless term if you use it every time a computer does statistical inference.

[@knoepfler34]

Yeah, I think the term AI is currently just a marketing word, like others have said. Systems like ChatGPT or other LLMs, for that matter, are not truly intelligent. There are really smart statistical correlators, from what I have understood. I would prefer if they just called them machine learners, just to demystify them.

[@ahmedsaed26]

How have mixed the definitions of machine learning and deep learning with supervised and unsupervised learning techniques

[@puffinjuice]

Who actually starts an email with "I hope this email finds you well"? What a pointless lead in sentence.

[@bandersong4650]

They used to call them “algorithms”

[@jier9904]

I know more about those as "Algorithm" not as "Generative AI"

[@martinkunev9911]

3:20 that's not what deep learning means

[@commonsense504]

Oh people realize it, and understand exactly why nothing wants to work correctly anymore.

[@GregHuffman1987]

i wanna see more AI optimism

[@nithinravi9600]

“Microsoft’s safe AI principles” - sure

[@calico2509]

Did you seriously do a video about AI and some of its pitfalls and then allow Microsoft to sponsor this? This makes me rethink Vox videos

[@elismith7599]

Wonderful that this “journalism” is sponsored by Microsoft

[@VishalKhopkar1296]

In the past 2 years, the term "artificial intelligence" has been used exclusively for generative AI. However, primtive machine learning including weather prediction using 1960s algorithms is also under the same umbrella of artificial intelligence

[@annagolieva7369]

Copilot, seriously? 😅

[@UxJoy]

@Vox Please issue and pin a comment on the correction at 3:22. A lot of people do not read the description.

[@johnrivera922]

It’s not “creating” the rules. It is pattern recognition it seems. Some words=spam That’s just pattern recognition It’s understanding yes, it’s not creating.

[@aakburns]

Did you notice how all auto correct seems to be terrible lately...

[@rodrigob]

The definition of Deep Learning is wrong, you are talking about "Self-supervised learning". Deep learning just means training models with many layers (usually 100+).

[@oksowhat]

A crucial point this video misses is that we have been using AI a lot since inception of personal computing, the thing we are using now is Machine Learning, a subset of AI, any algo that stimulates intelligence is Artificial Intelligence, that tic tac toe people played in 1980s in computers also used State space search algo, a crucial AI algorithm. All the things like recommendation classification etc are dont using ML that uses data and calculates probabilities using advanced algos to create an agent that predict what the user need, like predicting if a email is spam or not, or what the user will watch next.

[@HunterHogan]

Sponsors are inevitable, and I like that this video gave us multiple signals to distinguish the sponsor pitch from the video.

[@knoepfler34]

Yeah, they made it pretty obvious that they are sponsored. So I think that a lot of the criticism is quite unfair against Vox in that regard.

[@Joe29587]

I don't appreciate that a video about AI is sponsored by Copilot (AI).
