So-called machine "learning" is destroying yet another thing, this time science.

People still don't understand that a computer won't do things you haven't programmed it to do.
Many people think that AI-software + big dataset = new and original programs.
machine learning is a form of brute-force computation, it is a supremely useful tool but it is not a form of self assembling intelligence. We have to put all the intelligence into it our self.
The part where AI can find patterns that humans can't, is true , but it is a quantitative improvement, not a qualitative one.

The big problem with how modern AI is that is just looking for correlation while having zero context. This how you get AI thinking a snow fox is snow because every snow fox example it was given had snow on the ground. Basically we have the Chinese room problem where even if we put a human that doesn't know Chinese in a room and given them instructions on what sequence of Chinese characters to write for a given sequence of characters that whole process won't know Chinese but only an illusion thereof based on a ridged input/output rule set.
