I did a ML/AI course in university in 2011 or 2012. After the course, I had a much greater appreciation for how clever and complex the decision making process in our brain is and how difficult it is to get a computer to even do basic decision making based on a set of inputs. There's human creativity as well which a machine cannot truely do. I'm always cautious and a bit pessimistic when I hear companies advertising AI skills or functionality built into their product. Most of them are probably driven by people willing to be the next facebook and hype, rather than real technology. That same part of me is rejoicing in seeing the industry pay for this hype train. I personally think the AI revolution will come from a hardware innovation (quantum computing or something like that) rather than building these large datasets to train models. We don't fully understand how our brains work so trying to replicate this with a computer program is a tough ask.
