I do think neural networks are good for a few things. Like Go moves heuristics, or combining images. http://imgur.com/gallery/BAJ8j

But people seem to be trying to use neural networks for areas where they're practically useless, and gaining 0 understanding.

Many companies want "big data" stuff because it's trendy, when all they really need is 1 computer and statistical tools.
