Deep learning technologists != people that write articles about machine learning making various professions obsolete. I don’t think anyone that works with neural networks professionally is drinking the kool-aid. Don’t get me wrong, deep learning is an incredible technology, but not in ways that it’s made out to be in the press. Like a lot of other technologies, it’s real value is in solving really boring problems at a scale. But that doesn’t make for good content so we end up with a bunch of articles about self driving cars and nothing about using deep learning to take something like 3d photogrammetry from “passable for artistic purposes” to “industrially valuable.”
