They are trying to come up with a quantification of ideas and concepts that in some cases are highly qualitative, subjective, in flux, and relational. Think about beauty or emotions. Machine learning systems are attempting to codify these in extremely narrow and systematic ways. AI systems are deploying this flattening of human complexity, emotional richness and depth. What we are losing here is really the sense of humans as multifarious, complex, changing creatures that are always in relation to each other and a wider environment and ecology.
