Speaking as someone who's worked in ML/statistics for over a decade, the author is right on the money.
Just the rekognition service he is whining about can and is being used to detect cheaters in carpool lanes and automatic billing. Postal mails are sorted by ML, as well as spam at an email service provider. Recommendations and search on an ecommerce shopping site directly multiplie the revenue of the site. I had no idea some one who calls himself a software engineer could be so completely clueless.
I expect this person to delete this post in the next couple of years when he realizes how dumb it is.
