Do you have a hammer that you use to slice a pie?

Probably not.

This is no different with what problems that Machine Learning can solve. Like other tools, there are what it is suited for and what it is not.

Thread 👇
ML is suitable for problems which are:

🔹Very clear and simple to formulate. These include yes or no question (eg: email is yes or not spam), or predicting a single variable such as price of house given the number of bedrooms, region,...
🔹Hard to be solved by traditional programming: How many rules would you have write when implementing a face detection algorithm without using machine learning? That would be a complex program and less accurate at the end. How about sentiment analysis?
🔹Deep and resonate some forms of intelligence. Example of this is often in machine vision and language processing. Machine Learning (Deep neural networks specifically) has shown potential in object recognition & detection, voice synthesis, machine translation, etc...
However, ML is not suited for tasks:

♦️Which are expected to change the world in matter of hours
♦️Which are expected to change the world without good data
♦️Which can be solved easily with traditional programming
♦️Whose patterns are very clear and constant
