Half of data scientists or ML engineers I work with can implement and train models but do not necessarily understand the underlying principles or math.
Most people just care that it works and not why.
Really dangerous depending on the problem and field tbh
- santiagobasulto 3y agoYes, I've noticed that in the Data Science space as well. I guess our field is becoming more an "operational" field; we need more people to operate tools and you don't need the underlying concepts to do that. I don't think it's a bad thing, we just need to be conscious about it.
