If you can’t viscerally feel the difference between .1% and 1%, or a thousand and a million, you will probably need more of a statistics background to really understand things like “how much money is flowing into AI, and what is being accomplished, and what does it mean?”
I’m surprised at the suggestion that studying statistics strengthens gut sense of the significance of probabilities. I’ve updated somewhat towards that based on the above, but I would still expect something more akin to playing with and visualising data to be useful for this
