Confession of a so-called AI expert
> Even though I’m one of the beneficiary of this AI craze, I can’t help but thinking this will burst.I don't think it will. Level off - maybe.I've started my work in Computer Vision with classical algorithms (SIFT features, geometry, correlation filters and things alike people were researching for decades). These really worked like garbage, it was a nightmare.Then we jumped on DL bandwagon - and CV just clicked for me. Now I see it working, not perfectly, not at human level yet, but it works, it's better than everything else and it certainly brings value - not just in CV! Maybe there will be some expectations delayed or even ruined (AGI, fully self-driving cars, dunno), but the tech isn't going anywhere.At it requires at least some experience and a specific mindset, slightly unusual for a generic programmer. So I don't see a problem with experts, courses, degrees and the like.
