This is a very good point: the compelling value proposition of AI isn't that is accurate; it's that we need no human tweaking. I mean, it HAS to be accurate. But once it can replicate the accuracy of humans (which isn't 100% in many use cases), what I demand from an AI is that it removes the need for day to day maintenance. This post focuses entirely on where AI research is going, and indeed we need the bread and butter of human intelligence to get us there; but from a business perspective, what I'm trying to do is outsource my non-core business units (and some core ones) to someplace called AI, that upgrades what companies used to do when they outsourced to India: a good enough alternative that becomes cheaper.
