Olivia Guest is my favorite person to follow (on Bluesky/Atmosphere) when it comes to calling out AI hype based on a deep and thoughtful understanding of it.

This point is so very important.

It's ok not to know things.

Update: I've also learned Olivia is on the Fediverse: @olivia

@olivia.science on Bluesky:

Please consider not saying that some AI models or some statistical models are good, useful, beneficial, whatever else positive, in science if it's not your research area. It's ok not to know things. It's ok not to both side things. It's ok to ask colleagues who are experts.

Quoted post, by herself:

If you're anti AI & making claims that some of the models under the AI umbrella are ok because they seem to be serving scientific goals, then you fell for a type of hype. One from the 2010s; stats models aren't blessed by their use in science and they can erode our thinking.
