The results are living up. ML is integrated into the core of so many companies at this point it’s not like it was 10 years ago. ML is here to stay and it will be almost the entire economy in the not to distant future
I think the results are mixed. I don’t think anyone is claiming ML will die off. But in my own experience, for every company with a healthy ML environment, there are dozens that are kind of just throwing money and data around without much success, or without even the type of problems ML can solve. And at many companies that do have a solid ML use case, you often have teams of data scientists looking to find new projects that justify their existence because the maintenance of existing ML products doesn’t take up capacity.
ML will always be around, but it’s also definitely in a bubble right now in my opinion and there will likely be a contraction before the profession matures and gets to a healthy place.
