ML vs Human Learning
Cluster debates whether machine learning models truly 'learn' like humans or if the term is a misleading metaphor for statistical pattern fitting, compression, or heuristics.

Yes it’s literally a machine that learns!
I suppose this is why it is called "machine learning" and not "human learning"!
isn't this the same thing as blackbox learning?
... and the "learning" is left to the AI
Still not convinced how a model training on data, is not the same as a human looking at that data and then using it indirectly as it’s now a part of his knowledge base
Sure. Machine Learning is just "heuristics we don't understand."
The public is not learning from it. A person or corporation is creating a derivative work of it. Training a model is deriving a function from the training data. It is not "a human learning something by reading it".
By "human learning" do you mean there is a human in the loop, or do you mean the system mimics how we think humans learn? Looking at their website the latter appears to be the case.
I don't really understand this, what exactly is it learning?
Where did you read that? Are you sure they weren't talking about machine learning in general?
