- argonaut 10y agoThis is generally overblown. What has mainly happened so far is that already-existing products have been incrementally improved by deep learning - speech recognition, spam detection, search ranking, etc. all worked reasonably well before deep learning came along; deep learning just improved them. There aren't actually that many actually massively-impactful image recognition products out there yet (there are certainly products with the potential to be impactful, e.g. medical diagnostics, but it is too early to call).
