There are two different projects being discussed here. One Open source effort and one "AI Entrepreneur" effort. YesNoError is the latter project.

AI, like Cryptocurrencies faces a lot of criticism because of the snake oil and varying levels of poor applications ranging from the fanciful to outright fraud. It bothers me a bit how much of that critique spreads onto the field as well. The origin of the phrase "snake oil" comes from a touted medical treatment, a field that has charlatans deceiving people to this day. In years past I would have thought it a given that people would not consider a wholesale rejection of healthcare as a field because of the presence of fraud. Post pandemic, with the abundance of conspiracies, I have some doubts.

I guess the point I'm making is judge each thing on their individual merits. It might not all be bathwater.
