"Deep learning is like big data: everyone talks about it, nobody really knows how to do it, everyone thinks everyone else is doing it, so everyone claims they are doing it..."

That's a pretty good analogy. Substitute "Big Data" for some other popular trend ("Blockchain", "AI", "ML", "Deep learning", "IoT", "Agile") and it still holds true.

This is beautiful

Big data's also like a big dick. Everyone's running around telling their clients they've got an 8 incher if they buy.
