The biggest mistake of the ML field is its metaphorical naming. So many people seem to be taking Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Neural Networks etc literally. They don't do this for other concepts in coding (eg for an absurd example, no one is arguing we ride a CPU "bus" to work), but with ML algos its a free-for-all. Grandiose naming conventions might be good for extracting VC money but it's also seriously confusing people.
