There's a few problems (like image recognition) where deterministic approaches are either nonfunctional or far more resource and time intensive. But like, thats not what we get. Capital declares we shall feed it so we feed it. We will hit an ai winter again. Third time and its gonna hurt more than the others. We had one in the 70s, one in the 90s (though that was also affected by the dismantling of the soviet onion and drying up of DOD funding), and now its wormed its way into everything and is gonna be painful when it hits.
