I totally agree with the gist of this article. This hype is being propagated by a lot of folks who are willingly clueless, as for example, in the data science crowd. This band-wagon is crowded and isn’t stopping any time soon. It irks me to no end to comme across tutorial-style articles proclaiming to teach an AI algorithm, also known as ‘linear regression’. What bugs me the most though, are the countless ‘influencers’ on LinkedIn which spew rubbish about machine learning, AI and all the wonderful things that are just around the corner. Lastly, it doesn’t help when countless articles/books are written on the subject of AI dangers, AI ethics and are ‘robots coming for us?’. These add fuel to the fire of hype. In the end, this behavior will only guarantee the eventual blowing-up of the bubble, when promises are not delivered.
