Meme: "AIs are mysterious aliens we grow" vs "just switch to a different ontology"

An AI-research meme set on a loss surface: a crying doomer screams "NOOO!! AIs are mysterious aliens we grow," while others calmly reply "just switch to a different ontology," "just change your abstraction level," and "it's just a computer program." It pokes fun at the interpretability debate between treating models as inscrutable alien minds and believing the right representational lens explains them.
