encode, decode, transmit, edit...train, infer
If we look back to the history of our home computers, what were these actually used for? Encode, decode, transmit and edit. First text, then images, then audio, then video, then 3D graphics.
Now we have additional some new stuff going on, neural networks. With enough processing power and memory available in our CPUs and GPUs, we can infer and train neural networks at home with our machines, and we have enough mass storage available for big data, to train bigger neural networks.
Further, neural networks evolved from pattern recognition to pattern creation, we use them now to create new kind of content, text, images, audio, video...that is the point where it starts to get interesting, cos you get some surplus value out of it, you invest resources into creating an AI based on neural networks and it returns surplus value.
