> Once everyone realizes every practical use of their AI technology is more than adequately met by conventional code I'm all for skepticism for the current hyperbole, but there's no need to be hyperbolic in the other direction. There are some applications in which deep learning really does work better than alternatives. The 2018 Gordon bell prize, after all, went to a team that did deep learning on Summit for climate analysis. There is a nontrivial list of applications that you would have a hard time convincing experts that they would be better off with conventional code.
