When I read this article, I understand it to be talking about the things that most businesses will be able to get value out of now and in the near future.

This is a great list of things that deep learning may one day be able to help with, but I don't think it's a list of things that most businesses can use right now - have you ever interacted with a DL based help desk? Have you listened to the quality of the music composed by DL? We're a long way out from these being acceptable.

Just because you can list 14 preliminary attempts which produce OK demos, doesn't mean there is widespread application.

And exceed mankind? A lot of these don't - are you trying to tell me that the compositions by Emily exceed Beethoven? The Beatles? I don't think so, and I don't think you'll find many people in agreement if you do.

P.S, Cucumber sorting? There's a lot of demand for that! 😂

"Autonomous vehicles will also completely eliminate "choke points" caused by such things as accidents, road construction, and bridges. It will be huge...even in NYC, the public transit capital of the U.S."

Again, will never happen, maybe in 150 years, if Manhattan isn't under water.
