I think that just like most people don't need to know about the extremely complex internals of databases or networks, we should get deep-learning systems to a point where users can treat them the same way. (Of course there's alway

Now that many new cars are coming with have high-def wide-angle rear view cameras, I don't really need my neck muscles anymore. At some point we'll "evolve" to rocks... rocks with wifi.
