And next year they can filter out 99.99%. And the year after that, 99.9999%. So literally, an exponentially greater number of monkey/typewriting units. (An AI produced Shakespeare play coming soon).

>> we have no clue at all what that actually is and how these model learn

This is why I'm super cool-to-cold about the AI/deep learning classes being sold to young people who would otherwise be learning fundamental programming skills. It appears to me like trying to teach someone to ride a horse before they understand what skin, bones, muscles, animals, and horses are.

>>get anywhere close to human (expert) capability in any sufficiently complex domain

You can get close enough to scalp a lot of billionaires, but at the end of the day it's always going to be human coders banging our heads against management, where they ask for shit they can't visualize and it's our job to visualize how their employees/customers will use it. Yes it involves domain specific knowledge, but it also requires, er, having eyeballs and fingers, and understanding how a biological organism uses a silicon-based device. That's kind of the ultimate DS knowledge, after all. Now, lots of coders just copy-pasta a front end, but after all the hooplah here I'd be extremely surprised if in ten years an AI has caught up to your basic web mill in Indonesia when it comes to building a decent website.
