[D] How do you guys in the industry deal with data scarcity? in c/machinelearning@academy.garden

This is NOT the way to use synthetic data, obviously. It takes a rather high degree of incompetence to make money decision off of some generated reality.

Then again we'll see lots of that happening soon :)

Well, it's not a database, just a next word predictor.

The bubble is about to burst. Six more months, tops. At that point people will realize that next word prediction while impressive is just not very useful in most business contexts, and that the use cases that might be interesting don't need a universe-sized model. Useful applications of natural language processing are quite limited despite what everyone says right now. The idea to replace workers in large numbers is a pipedream, if the idea has merit at all it will be for those who promote it the most (talking heads).
