Comment on CauseNet: Towards a causality graph extracted from the web

Comments

I don’t know if it’s inadvertent, but it’s headed toward just becoming an engine for over fitted generalizations. Each casual pair will just emerge based on frequency, which will reinforce itself in preemptively and prematurely classifying all future information.

Unfortunately, frequency is the primary way AI works, but it will never be accurate for causality because causality always has the dynamic that things can happen just “because”. It’s hacked into LLMs via deliberate randomness in next-token prediction.
