We've been overcomplicating machine learning for years. Sometimes we confuse it with the over-hyped artificial intelligence, talking about replacing humans with robotic reasoning when really ML is about augmenting human intelligence with advanced pattern recognition. Or we burrow into deep learning when more basic SQL queries would get the job done. But perhaps the greatest problem with ML today is how incredibly complicated we make the tooling because, as Confetti AI co-founder Mihail Eric has posited, the ML "tooling landscape with constantly shifting responsibilities and new lines in the sand is especially hardest for newcomers to the field," making it "a pretty rough time to be taking your first steps into MLOps." Normally we look to tooling to make tech easier.
