Dean Ball mocks AI skeptics whose predictions keep getting stomped by SGD
deanwball · x · 2026-09-14
AI researcher Dean Ball turns the common skeptic line—"you AI people are so naive, I live in the REAL world"—against itself, filling in the bracket with the inconvenient truth: the self-styled realists have been consistently wrong in their AI predictions, behind the ball on every trend, and their casual prognostications keep getting stomped all over by stochastic gradient descent. A one-liner rhetorical reversal aimed at habitual AI doomsayers.
