Vinodh is a big observer of the machine’s impact on the human mind, and the subtle conflicts one can have while trying to train a machine’s intelligence. He once admitted that he had a mild guilt-trip when he questioned himself if he had learned enough for his own learning after the machine learning wave entered the industry. He ponders over the fact that, if the interrupt-driven functioning of our human brains is conducive to learning. Considering that a scarce-attention situation is currently making ‘deep’ human learning hard, he recommends that we all should be adhering to good old human learning to survive in the world of machine learning.
