This is absolutely not the case. I work in adjacent fields, and it not uncommon for machine learning based solutions to reliably outperform any single human.
In most cases ML aggregates human judgement. Provided some humans are right more of the time than a random distribution would give (and there is enough data) then a good learning algorithm will find it.
Now there are issues with this of course - inappropriate generalisation, inappropriate overfitting etc.
And this comment is correct - data outside a single photo will make the system much more reliable. 2 second video sequences should help a lot.
But the general principle is valid: an AI/ML should be able to reliably outperform humans.
