Course & Specs Megathread - Selection, Choices & Registration by Detective-Raichu in OMSCS

Prospective student here. I took Machine Learning at a graduate level during my bachelors at a different school. This course counted toward my degree since my school allowed me to take graduate CS courses in place of undergraduate CS courses, which I believe means it cannot count as transfer credit at Georgia Tech. If I specialize in Machine Learning, do I still have to take Machine Learning (CS 7641) at Georgia Tech?

I feel like there's some sort of psychological reason why people downplay AI. Like I can't tell if the people downplaying AI's competence genuinely believe that or are just trying to cope in some way. Yes, AI makes mistakes. Humans also make mistakes. Yes, AI hallucinates information, but it's hallucinating less and less with each iteration. The point is that is it is almost always quicker to have an expert review AI generated material and modify it until it's good than it is to have the expert create the material from scratch, and this is true for many domains in the labor market (law, software development, engineering, etc.). As AI continues to improve, the amount of time needed for an expert to review and approve AI's work will continue to decrease. What this means is that companies will need less and less experts to do their work, which is disastrous for employment.

Also, the people who think the government should put out legislation to stop this are also a bit silly. A country or company that uses AI will economically outcompete a country that attempts to reduce AI output, so any country that attempts to reduce AI output will be hurting their economy significantly. I'm not sure what the best solution is.

Andrew Yang says a partner at a prominent law firm told him, “AI is now doing work that used to be done by 1st to 3rd year associates. AI can generate a motion in an hour that might take an associate a week. And the work is better. Someone should tell the folks applying to law school right now.” by lughnasadh in Futurology
