Reply to comment by joyloveroot in Is AI like ChatGPT censored? by joyloveroot

Most jobs in AI and ML require master's degrees specialized in the topic. The teams that work on these things tend to be small so it's harder to justify training someone who might not know what they're doing. Granted, I've never seen listings for places like OpenAI, where the structure might be different.

If that’s true, then clearly some amount of hubris is holding the field back 😂

AI and ML are not trivial things to just get into. A master's is roughly appropriate, not just for the education but also for the pay.

More so than hubris, is capitalism. It's hard to come across money for research's sake. Most companies don't care to invest in AI or ML if they can't see a ROI in it. That's the other reason the jobs are hard to come by.

Yeah also ridiculous that we don’t dedicate resources based on some more rational criteria than the random movement of the capitalist market…
