Couldn't training data include a video of someone taking a stick out of the water?

In that case, a neural net will learn to predict the next frame in a video stream, but it still won't learn what a stick is or why it looks bent when it's in the water.

Then we have no ambiguity. The data is inclusive.

And the cost is a very seriously larger problem space to classify.
