Another perspective, someone with no programming experience whatsoever today can in 1 minute create a new ML application for natural language tasks with performance that would blow most SOTA systems from 5 years ago out of the water, using things like the openai API. And this trend will almost certainly continue, where many tasks can be programmed by simply asking/describing the problem to a massive model and letting it work magic.
- lbriner 5y agoThat might be true but my experience is that people are much better at building tooling than they are at using it properly. So many organisations can't even get the basics of efficiency and custom service right but they still invest heavily into cutting edge tech. I can imagine plenty of companies joining the ML bandwagon and still not even really knowing what they do as a business.
- dTal 5y agoThis seems a trifle hyperbolic. No programming experience whatsoever? Remind me what the 'P' in 'API' stands for?
- tehsauce 5y agoIf one were to build with the API from scratch. But in theory all you really need to do to deploy a “new model” just is write a short prompt and click a “create endpoint” button.
