The BS-Industrial Complex of Phony A.I.

Surprisingly, recognizing a bird is much harder when you count rare species and running birds. Thus, sparse data. Does it recognize penguins too?

AIs today still fail at it. Some folks were trying to train one to match endangered species and they had to pull mighty tricks to have some 70% accuracy. I think it was here on HN some time ago, but can't recall a link.

And yet, average humans can classify even fewer species.

With the same amount of training/data as NNs? I doubt it...

Do you take into account billions of years of training due to evolution?

Technically that’s network architecture, not training data... admittedly though humans are “pre-trained” from birth.

Also after extensively studying ornithology?
