ML has already succeeded to the point that it is ubiquitous and taken for granted. OCR, voice recognition, spam filters, and many other now boring technologies are all based on ML.
Anyone claiming it’s some sort of snake oil shouldn’t be taken seriously. Certainly the current hype around it has given rise to many inappropriate applications, but it’s a wildly successful and ubiquitous technology class that has no replacement.
- yen223 2y agoThank you for this. Reading these comments I thought I stepped into some alternate timeline when we don't already have widespread ML all over the place. Like, nobody does rules-based image recognition for a decade now already!
- oblio 2y agoThat ML I have no problem with. This new ML that's supposed to be the basis for an entire new economic wave, that I mostly dislike. But I guess that's how we build new things... We explore and throw away 80% of what we've built.

- tensor 2y agoVoice recognition will never be rule based.
