ML is so complicated and so black box-y, it's not like it's a todo list or something.

It seems like this would be the worst of both worlds. Too simple to be of any use to any ML engineer, too complicated for the uninitiated, not customizable enough for a domain expert.




This is the general response from programmers toward tools that automate programming. It's also generally FUD about being replaced by said tools.


I don't think ML is a regular form of programming.


That's because it's not programming. ML describes a strategy using machines to derive information from data. You use programming languages to tell machines how to execute on that strategy.


Data science is probably a better description.


ML is simply a conversion of data to weights.


Having the old Azure ML Studio before, yes, it is the worst of both worlds. This new refresh will be no better.
