Some friends of mine are in a firm which is developing an AI backed intrussion
detection system for networks.

What I hear from them is that half the work they do is write half the checks
that determine if some traffic pattern is anomalous or not because the neural
network is so bad at it.

Another guy I know is working in pollution control and they have tasked his
team with having an AI determinate if the water sample in a picture is polluted
or not. The problem there is lots of pollutans you can't detect with the nacked
eye so the chances of the computer detecting pollution from most images are
slim.

I think neural networks and machine learning have lots of useful applications,
but AI has become the new buzzword du jour and everybody is trying to include
neural networks in their projects only because it is cool to have a neural
network like the rest of the kids.
