OpenAI and the other research labs (FAIR, Google Brain, MS Research) are heavily focused on image and speech models, but the reality is the vast majority of models deployed in industry don't need DL and benefit more from intelligent feature engineering and simpler models with good hyperparameter tuning. It's definitely the exception that more compute automatically yields more performance.
