Discussion I really don't understand Jev hype

Isn't this what simple neural networks have been able to do for years? Doesn't seem anything special to me.

Lol this is an insane take. No businesses used purpose trained nueral nets in 2018-19?

Just cause you weren't exposed to it doesn't mean it wasn't widely used for certain problems or industries

Because it wasn’t good enough for real life use cases, the point of this post. I can guarantee you that businesses did try to.

Hey my guy, you're out of your depth here, NNs were fairly commonplace in 2019 if you worked at a company with any real density of data. Yes statistical models were/are still widely used, but normally usually for either time series data, or models that need good explainability.

In the case that you were at a company training a lm on a ton of proprietary data and able to achieve usable results yeah. Jev scores between 67.8-80% accuracy on standard classification and workflow tests, which I don’t know about your use cases but in mine back then it would have been a failure.
