When you download a CSV from Kaggle to train a model for a specific problem, 99% of the work has been done for you.

But simpler improvements like reducing data entry mistakes in a “boring” industry also creates value.

When you solve a problem (any problem), everyone wins.

You do not need bleeding edge AI to solve problems

Classic algorithms + domain knowledge + niche datasets are going to solve most real problems, not deep neural nets. Most of us aren’t working on self-driving cars.
