#2Are there any other similar projects that are similarly easy to use?

#3I would have expected a larger announcement for a release like this. It seems to come from Apple's acquisition of Turi in mid-2016 [0]. From what I can tell, they are open sourcing most of that product with new integrations to Core ML.
Will be interesting to see how Apple plans to position this against existing ML solutions with easy to use Python api's like scikit-learn, keras, etc.

#4AI is getting abstracted more and more, is like how languages are today

#5It's really nice to see Apple releasing this, and it looks like it is still actively being developed, too.
I used it while taking the University of Washington ML courses on Coursera and really liked how easy it was to use, so I was bummed when Apple bought them and it looked like it was just going to disappear.

seeing as Apple has gathered basically zero goodwill in the ML community, I expect their staff will be the only people to use most of it

a small correction: artificial neural networks (ANNs) are being abstracted away not AI. Currently there is no common language yet to describe AI.

#8I am gonna have an aneurysm. It relies on CUDA, yet you can't get a recent Apple machine with a proper desktop Nvidia GPU. No, I don't want an external GPU box. What the heck are they running this on internally?
Actually, don't tell me. Just sell me one.

I'm curious if you see this as a good thing, bad thing, or a bit of both? I did lots of enterprise programming in 1999 to ~2004 and had to struggle with stupid stuff like creating wire protocols or FTP modules. Working in tech is so much fun now as I can do the actual work without worrying about foundational stuff. And for those who like to do foundational stuff, they can work for one of the vendors who create the foundational stuff.
In the 1990s in college, it was worse, I had to sometimes write some data structures, etc because there wasnt a good standard utilities package.
I'm pretty tired with all the grunt work I need to do these days as a machine learning practitioner. I'd love some abstraction or at least automation of the rote work. Keras is great at some of this, but i'd love a lot more of it.
I'm VERY INTERESTED in hearing everyone's ideas on this, this is a big pain point for me, to the extent that i'm trying to actually build a solution around it.

Yes, some of the platforms abstract away ANNs, I especially like how Keras does this. However, the pipeline and lifecycle (where one often spends 90% of the work) isnt abstracted away. Thoughts? What would you want to black box, what would you want to automate, what would you leave openly exposed?
