"...has developed data visualization software it says uses big data to answer the questions you never thought to ask..." Replace "questions" with "hypotheses" and "thought" to "cared". I'm all for having a tool that can highlight a ton of interesting things in my data... I'd make a business case to buy that any day. But finding all the connections is so noisy compared to finding the right connections. That's the cynic in me. The optimist in me is looking forward to when these kinds of techniques are just another R package I can load and turn loose on my data. :)

You could probably already do that with the R package caret. It can train models for you automatically, so you could loop over every model available and return the top ten predictions. Of course it wouldn't get around the need for feature engineering, but its theoretically possible. Note - do not attempt this unless you have lots and lots of machines, as it will take a very, very long time.
