Generative AI is overrated, long live old-school AI
Seems like the person who wrote the blog works in "classical" deep learning. So do I, so here's the fairest take I can come up with: "AI"  has for recent memory been a marketing term anyway. Deep learning and variations have had a good run at being what people mean when they refer to AI, probably overweighting towards big convolution based computer vision models.<p>Now, "AI" in people's minds means generative models.<p>That's it, it doesn't mean generative models are replacing CNNs, just like CNNs don't replace SVMs or regression or whatever. It's just that pop culture has fallen in love with something else.
