The thing about this that gets me is that I am willing to believe that machine learning has worthwhile uses, but fuck if I know what they are because the market has decided that it's best used for making art and writing. Both of which it's absolutely shit at.

So far the actual good uses are simple and direct stuff like finding tumors early or controlling agricultural robots. Things that can be trained within a specific context to improve a process. But that's not bazinga enough for tech bros to hype like some solution for everything.
