>> That's an absurd way to describe modern deep learning, where the Bitter Lesson[2] is cited as gospel. Yes, technically all neural network topologies are laid out by humans at some level, but just saying that is another misleading snippet of the truth at best; even the author later acknowledges "the opacity of machine-learning tools is a genuine technical problem". How can both things be the case?

Sorry, why is it misleading to recognise that all neural networks are created manually by human engineers?
