Sorry, but Machine Learning and statistical AI is way over-hyped in my experience working in the industry. There are definitely very cool things coming from it.

Sorry, but Machine Learning and statistical AI is way over-hyped in my experience working in the industry. There are definitely very cool things coming from it. But the hype implies it will solve way more cases than it currently can. Modeling complexity/cost is worse than exponential. The low hanging fruit is already taken. This doesn't mean we should stop doing it. But we should curve our expectations.
