Huge amounts of data was necessary in the early models and is still when you want to win DL competition. I fine tuned YOLOv5 with a few dozens hand-labelled images to make an object detector in a semi-controlled environment. The idea that you need a million images to train a detector or a classifier is now totally wrong. Fine-tuning can be done on a very small dataset.
