I think the reason AI are better than humans is that the AI is just as stupid as the image classifier.

They are also overly US centric.

One of the questions asks you to click on only the school buses. I had to Google how you tell the difference between a school bus and not a school bus.

Also is it a crosswalk if it's at an intersection or is it only a crosswalk if it's in the middle of a road somewhere?

The questions either need to be not cultural or they need to be adapted for where they detect the user is coming from, the first option seems easier.

I also have a locked door on my house what's your point?

Everyone should talk to their parents and grandparents about this scam

It would be pointless with my mother, anything involving technology developed after the 1980s goes were in one ear and out the other.

She never could work out the VCR, I never even bothered with a DVD player.

They need to invent a "smart" TV that can be remotely controlled, so I don't have to come around every time she wants to watch another episode of big bang theory, which apparently is the best show ever.

They really are just looking for the lowest common denominators.

I don't have a webcam attached to my desktop, and my laptop is only used for work, and anyway it has a physical plastic cover over the camera.

A lot of people will have a very similar setup so it'll be very obvious that they don't have anything. The only people this will actually catch out are those with a guilty conscience.

I bet they have a disproportionate number of politicians pay up

It's the age old question, does the pole count as part of a traffic light?

Personally I refuse to die for anything short of an antimatter explosion.

Hyperbole is a thing.

In other the news it's still too expensive for basically anyone to buy which was my fundamental point which I feel like you're ignoring

Well they could actually make the game that they promised that would be a good start

If we have a discover aliens the first thing we're going to do if they have computers is try and run Doom on it.

fiddly little interfaces for gadgets

You can already do that with an app.

The technology is definitely cool but unless they can significantly reduce the price it's just not worth it

It wasn't lack of interest it was a lack of money. It was an interesting product that I would have probably bought but was ludicrously expensive. I can practically pay off my mortgage for the amount they wanted
