Yet Another Inadequate Placeholder.
I will say that I am not best-pleased to see this phrase come back in to vogue over the last few years, riding on a combination of absurd, apocalyptic myth-making and real but limited advances in the art of curve-fitting, a.k.a. "deep learning". (Said differently, I remember the last time Geoff Hinton's students were going to take over the world with multi-layer connectionist models.)
