You spent several paragraph criticizing ANNs, but regular ANNs are not deep learning at all.

I didn't criticize ANN, I criticized perception of ANNs and learning algorithms as general purpose solutions.

Also, I have no idea what you're talking about that ANNs are not involved with deep learning. Recurrent and Convolution Networks are types of ANN. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_learning

Regular ANNs are not deep learning.

Lol, what the hell is "regular ANNs"? Both convnets and RNNs have been in use for more than 20 years.
