How to Pick between Traditional AI, Supervised Machine Learning, and Deep Learning [Thoughts]
- Traditional AI - The most secure, understandable, and performant. However, Good implementations of traditional AI require that we define the rules behind the system, which makes it unfeasible for many of the use cases that the other 2 techniques thrive on.
- Supervised Machine Learning- Middle of the road b/w AI and Deep Learning. Good when we have

Where would I add generative AI? Generative AI has the ease of accessibility of traditional AI, where people think it is understandable, but it does not have that feature in itself. It also has the opaque and costly nature of DL. Many companies are at the moment rushing into developing things with generative AI without having any prior foundation in AI and any processes set up to manage it: data ops, devops, …
Traditional AI forces you to think about how something works, understand the system, and then define the rules for it. ML lets you use features and feature importance to shortcut some. Deep Learning allows you to brute force it. Generative AI allows you to brute force without any background in DL.
