Reply to comment by Featureless_Bug in [D] "Deep learning is the only thing that currently works at scale" by GraciousReformer

Because they are useful for some problems and not others, like every algorithm? Nowhere in my statement did I say they are monolithic in their use across all subdomains of ml

The statement was that deep learning is the only thing that works at scale. It’s not lol. Deep learning struggles in a lot of situations.

Ok, name one large scale problem where GLMs are the best prediction algorithm possible.

Any problem where you want things like effect estimates lol. Or error estimates. Or models that generate joint distributions

So, literally a ton of them. Which industries don’t like things like that?
