    In the 60s, Marvin Minsky assigned a couple of undergrads to spend the summer programming a computer to use a camera to identify objects in a scene. He figured they’d have the problem solved by the end of the summer. Half a century later, we’re still working on it.

      If by “easy” you mean someone already spent 5 years and a nice chunk of cash training a model for it. And that it will not be accurate across all possible species and environments, only very specific subsets.

        We spent the five years training the model. Manually. With Captcha data.

        Now we’re teaching it not to run traffic signals, hit motorcycles, or try to drive up stairs.

  A bit of reverse image searching reveals this was the original XKCD comic (more specifically, the top middle panel): https://xkcd.com/1269/
