    How smart is the form of artificial intelligence known as deep learning computer networks, and how closely do these machines mimic the human brain? They have improved greatly in recent years, but still have a long way to go, according to a team of cognitive psychologists.

      From the machine's perspective:

      • A teapot is a bunch of pixels
      • A golf ball is a bunch of pixels
      • A picture is a bunch of pixels
      • a pixel is a few ones and zeroes

      An AI doesn't "tell things apart"; it just reads in ones and zeroes, processes stuff, and outputs ones and zeroes as a result of the process. "Journalists" really need to stop thinking that AIs are thinking, because they're not.

              Ugh. Can anyone find a non-garbage fire article about that research? ie one that actually shows all the test images instead of prattling on and on about a bunch of non-golfballpot images we have no idea what look like.

                Sarah Hoyt sounds that of a genius and all around awesome mind. The vomiting emoji art is totes kewl and dare I say frame-able. Yeah, I'm not buying the whole AI is on the moon thing yet either. If AI was all that it would have already replaced the idiots developing it for a 'human-upgrade' and better security. AI sees its developers as nones & zeros ~Skynet.

                I was unaware of that...
