Ask HN: Has anyone successfully pivoted from web dev to AI/ML development? 154 ent_superpos 2 years ago 97 comments
I think I would probably fit more into the AI Engineer category since I would have to do a lot more study for AI research, but I do enjoy trying to use existing models and libraries to accomplish tasks. I can also create toy models myself (I actually built a ConvNet in PyTorch to detect popup dialogs on my screen and alert me), but I'm no where near good enough to create entirely new novel approaches or architectures.
