A lot of the classification stuff is crap too, like that one that was meant to identify tanks in satellite images but turned out to just pick images with clouds instead.
Mostly it is this whole new generation of AI where nobody really understands how it gets to the result and nobody can incrementally improve things that is a problem.
Classic machine learning with neural nets and similar mechanisms is just as good or bad as it was before the current hype.
Yeah I agree there. The term “AI” is treated as if it were the coming of God and the solution to all (non)existing problems and who would dare question God when he looks into your face? (Provided you believe in God that is.) Which is a major part of the actually existing problem with that stuff.
People already look at me funny when I call a smartphone my language’s equivalent of “mobile phone”. I always explain that well… it may be a phone among things, but it’s NOT smart. Yet somehow many seem to believe that because it has “smart” in it’s name it’s actually better, when actually it really heavily depends on what you want/need.
