I see this kind of argument with blockchain bros as well, and it drives me nuts.
If I write crappy paint program and all I can claim is, "It's no worse than the time/effort of drawing by hand," what exactly have I achieved in your opinion?
And if the posts on HN wrt blockchain and ML constantly feature these "no-worse-than-what-we-are-replacing" arguments while posts about, say, paint programs don't, what does that say about the buzz around blockchain and ML?
