People talk a lot about datasets being “rich” and “diverse,” but I wish they would also mentioned “not full of crap” in the same breath. Whether it be AI or humans, garbage-in, garbage-out still applies. You can have a rich and diverse dataset that teaches AI horrific, terrible ideas and practices.
We know with humans you get a very different effect based on the quality of the teacher and the teaching material, and we know that a bad teacher teaching bad lessons can be even worse than nothing at all. AI isn’t really that different.
