    ML isn’t a dead end. I mean, if your target is strong AI at human-like intelligence, then maybe, maybe not. If your goal is useful tools for getting shit done, then ML is already a success. Almost every push for AI in the last 60 years has born fruit, even if it didn’t meet its final end goal.

      That’s pretty much what I meant. ML has a lot of value, promising that it will deliver artificial intelligence is probably hogwash.

      Useful tools? yes. AI? No. But never let the truth get in the way of an investor bonanza.
