Comment on This should be a pinned post as it really captures the essence of my experience so far.

  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.

  Funny, now it’s easy to check for birds.

    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.

        I’m waiting for the day Google Recaptcha will ask me “is that traffic light red?” and after a couple of seconds “hurry up, I’m approaching the intersection!”

      also fooled by drawings and if it’s shit enough the model will be fooled by text saying “bird”
