> I think it's time for our society to grow out of that phase

for sure I thought ML tech already grew out of that phase where it cannot distinguish between an onion and a breast.

Now if this quality of AI is to be considered state of the art then the good news is that the Singularity is not to be expected soon.

It's still a matter of statistics. If only 1 in a million photos is classified incorrectly, then most researchers as well as most "normal" people would consider the algorithm ok for the purpose (regardless of whether the purpose is justified). Yet on the scale of Facebook, errors are very likely to happen on a daily basis.

Or the Singularity will be much worse than we thought...

I robot, except the AI decides to kill us to protect us from seeing our own nipples.
