As someone who has been doing ML research since 2003, machine learning has been and continues to be an amazing field. GenAI didn’t ruin ML any more than the World Wide Web ruined networking. (Statistics, however, WAS born corrupt and toxic.)

I can’t emphasize this enough — “AI” wasn’t born corrupt and toxic. For ~75 years, it was mathematicians and scientists doing interesting, thoughtful work and trying to solve problems, making only the usual human mistakes. What “AI” did to machine learning is as tragic as what it did to artists.
