Do You Need Deep Learning?

As a guy who has his own deep learning library that aims to rival Tensorflow and PyTorch, the answer is: "chances are, no". Around this time last year, I was running a startup and as a side hustle, I was doing consulting work for any parties interested in machine learning. I get a lot of requests from businesses who want to empower their businesses with "AI". The results from any successful consults*Don't let terms like "consultancy" fool you - I spent 90% of the time getting rejections or me rejecting them. This is the typical representation of a neural network architecture, which I got from Wikipedia, released as public domain.
