Unfortunately, thats not scalable for a whole bunch of problems. I agree its a headache, but the solution is not to stay away from machine intelligence.

I understand what you mean. Consider though, not everyone here is writing code that needs to scale.

What I meant was for projects that need to scale, i.e. you can't have humans making decisions, there is no way to avoid this. If your project does not need to scale in this manner, my statement doesn't apply - in fact, I quite agree with you - I'm not sure why one would use machine learning!
