Wow... They want to give AI even more mental illness and crippling imposter syndrome to make it an expert in one niche field?

Sounds like primary school drop-out level thinking to me.

I'm planning to defend in October and I can say that getting a Ph.D. is potentially the least intelligent thing I've ever done.

Same, bruh. But I transitioned from biophysics to money & people management and shit’s pretty okay.

I know three people that dropped out of primary and did quite well. They all ended up taking remedial studies later in life. Two were in trades and the other was a postie. All three were smart as fuck. Just because life gets in the way of going to school doesn't mean a person is dumb, just uneducated.
