Techbros: self driving cars are inevitable!
Also techbros: prove you are human by performing a task that computers can’t do, like identifying traffic lights.
@goatsarah That's a straw target. They're training them to be better than _all_ humans, not just as good as _a_ human.
AI automation won't come about from a machine being able to identify some specific traffic light, it'll come when a machine can identify more traffic light signals far quicker than an average human, and on average drive safer per mile - not perfect, but better than an average human. That's maybe already happened. But there are always more traffic lights to make them better.
@goatsarah
[ to be clear/more general to the above, "traffic light" of course could be any object requiring identification or assessment in such a situation ]
I understand the repulsion, tho.
I personally suspect we're at least on a cusp of where self-driving machines will likely be better, on average, than an average human, which would therefore be safer for everyone, even if there's mistakes, there'll be fewer mistakes.
AGI automation, well that's a different kettle of very scary fish.
