#3Seeing things like this just make me want to get into ML. I'm sure there's a ton of complexity behind it but it seems that it just feels so rewarding.

#4The video demo showing their sketches created into a high fidelity design was really neat

Just know that ML jobs are just statisticians with sexier names

#6This is insanely great. An ideal system would be developing something like this to do PSD to HTML, instead of having it identify predefined components.

#7Correct me if I'm wrong but is this basically doing what Adobe & others have already done? The only difference I noticed is they're using a camera & image recognition as the input instead of the designer dragging & dropping 1 of the 150 components on to a digital canvas in a software application?
I do get that it's a demo that shows the possibility. I just feel I'm missing something that makes this stand out. I did only watch the first video & skim the article.

In practice there's a big difference in thought process and workflow between drawing freehand on paper and flipping through a UI library with a drag and drop interface. I think this is true even if your task is just composing from the same well defined set of components.
If they can actually pull this off it I can see it being very useful. And if it works really well in conjunction with other experiments currently ongoing, I can imagine it even affecting the way teams are structured and how a designer's day to day work goes.

Depends 100% on where you are. Data Science/ML engineers can mean dramatically different things at different companies.

#10Very interesting concept. It reminds me of the discussion I've seen around smalltalk, in which smalltalk fans say that dev environments should be live and should immediately react to changes. The idea of being able to sketch something up on a whiteboard and having the UI come to life on a screen next to me instantaneously really feels similar.
On the other hand, who is the guy doing the talk at the bottom of the page? That was totally cringy. I felt like he didn't know what he was talking about.
Edit: wording. tone.
