>I can't think of ways it's seriously impacted my life, other than being an interesting challenge to pursue. What an odd framing. Are technologies only impactful if they result in a shiny new toy? Machine learning is a functional part of at least 50% of the tech I use daily. I typed this on my phone, so I unintentionally used machine learning (key-tap recognition) to reply to your comment about machine learning impact. Machine learning is a technology whose benefit is mostly in facilitating other technologies. In that way it’s more like the invention of plastic than the invention of the personal computer. Plastic has made other inventions lighter, more affordable, and cheaper. So too will ML, but I see where you’re coming from.
