>once the AI/ML fantasy hype dies
Sure. Once all of online advertising, search (web, ecommerce, specialized sites, etc.), image editing, spell checking, recommendations (streaming, ecommerce, email, marketing, etc.) and a hundred other things cease to exist. Or more broadly once every large consumer facing company decides, for whatever reason, that it'd prefer to make significantly less money.
People talking about things without realizing what they are and where they're used usually indicates that their broader argument is going to be filled with equally many invalid assumptions and logical holes.
- michaelteter 4y agoWhat percentage of companies (including startups) that use Python are using anything more than Django/Flask/sqlalchemy and the usual network modules? I did not say that AI/ML is not useful. But I'm quite sure that some (many) of the companies using Python are not doing any of that - even if they say on their pitch deck that they are or will.
- marcinzm 4y agoI'm not sure why you're focused on startups so much when a minority of engineers work at them. Python is also used heavily for data analytics, data science and data engineering which aren't AI/ML and likely much more common at startups.
