XAI is over and out (Re: Vectors are the new JSON)

Hi,
Another example of total nonsense:
CfR: Vienna World Logic Day Lecture
Joao Marques-Silva on Trustable Explainable AI
14 Jan 2025, Online [WLD Event]
https://resources.illc.uva.nl/LogicList/newsitem.php?id=12030
The abstract is out of date.  XAI was a problem a
few years ago.  But it has nothing to do with ChatGPT.
Because ChatGPT is not the machine learning that XAI
is trying to fix. The fuzzy logic in ChatGPT has nothing
to do with deep learning and latent parameters.
ChatGPT throws everything back to natural language and data.
Virtually no invented latent parameter. There are no
ontologies with top and bottom in the vectors.  They are
quite flat attribute structures that not only control
words, but also sentences and polysemy.  See also:
Sentence embedding

This means that the academic world is completely
overwhelmed.  And now stare in mental shock.  Don't
notice that "traditions" like XAI are already out of date.
Mit freundlichen Grüssen
P.S.: Here's the abstract, it's complete nonsense:
Abstract:
Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) is a mainstay of
trustworthy AI.  Recent years have witnessed massive efforts
towards delivering some sort of XAI solutions. Most of these
efforts are based on non-symbolic methods, an d invariably will
produce erroneous results. As a result, even if the predictions of
a machine learning model could be trusted, the lack of reliable
explanations will also make those predictions unworthy of trust.
This talk provides a brief glimpse of the emerging field of logic-based
explainable AI, a rigorous alternative to the still widely-used but
extremely problematic non-symbolic methods.

Hi,
 I have switched to use the term "Fuzzy Logic", since
Probability and/or Bayes is surely misleading.
"Fuzzy Logic" is quite old:
 In 1965, in his essay Fuzzy Sets[5] - which had been
cited more than 70,000 times by mid-2017 - he first
presented his concept of a theory of fuzzy sets, which
became the nucleus and basis of the rapidly developing
fuzzy logic - (content: The Logic of Uncertainty  )

 This is also quite intersting, but PostgreSQL is not
the only database management system, that provides
such retrieval extensions:
 Vectors are the new JSON

Rather than improve the original post, the effort
has been made to "promote" some so-called RETRO
Project by linking YouTube and arxiv.org URLs.
Not worth retaining IMHO.

Also the MSE end user can explicitly now ask a chat
