Reply to comment by master3243 in [R] The Forward-Forward Algorithm: Some Preliminary Investigations [Geoffrey Hinton] by shitboots

I feel like this is saying:

  1. this won't generally replace backprop, but it could lead to insight that will lead to algorithms that will replace backprop
  2. this could improve upon backprop for some specific use cases (low power), so even if it doesn't lead to major insights, researchers can still justify spending time on it

Does that sound right?
