Yeah I think everything you wrote here is on-point, nothing here happens instantaneously and with the current velocity of ML it's even less clear that it's taking place. Thanks for your really in depth and informative reply though, I'm only cursorily interested in ML through its relation to data, which is my speciality. My exposure to ML is mostly through said ML teams making requests for data and systems like feature stores to run their models so I have some understanding of how they construct their overall architecture but not the specifics so this was super interesting.
