As far as I'm aware, ML is driving a pretty sizeable amount of new functionality at the big tech companies. How do you think Google does search and translate, Netflix recommends films, Tesla drives your car, Siri recognises your voice, etc. etc.
I see the sentiment you've expressed a lot, and feel it speaks to a massive disconnect amongst developers. Most people are interacting with ML systems dozens if not hundreds of times a day.
- otabdeveloper4 6y agoQuestion wasn't if ML is useful. The question is - does ML make money or create (financial) value for the company? The stuff you listed doesn't, it's just part of a moat for already established products that don't depend on ML for their market share. (It's not like Netflix will lose market share if they switch from ML to some other approach for their recommendation system.)
