@dalias at least in part, this is testament to our collective failure to make actual engineering accessible to normal people. I can believe that for a lot of people a usually-good-enough ML solution is easier, even though we know it’s profoundly stupid and wasteful.

@steve @dalias Based on my exposure to all this AI stuff, I find those most enthusiastic are those who want to make fast gains in a field they know nothing about. It's not about it getting better, it's about that (perceived) immediate gain.

In 2017 I did a keynote presentation on “Data on steroids” in a similar vein.
