Rather than using misguided phrases like "Kool-aid" its important to consider several reasons why JPEG 2000 adoption has lagged or why there is interest in neural networks:
1. JPEG 2000 is Patent encumbered.
2. Neural Network methods have good chance of getting significantly better.
3. The way similar architecture / ops have been found to be very effective across variety of tasks, its not unlikely that in future, all machines will have a dedicated neural inference chip, e.g. NVidia Jetson TK1 or Google TPU. In this scenario the more mileage you can get out of such dedicated hardware the better.
- lawpoop 10y ago1 seems valid, but 2 and 3 don't seem to be a reason applicable going back the past 16 years. That would be a kind of vaporware argument if we would have had to have waited 16, 10, or even 5 years for NN improvements over JPEG 2000 to pan out.
