    Without getting into whether or not AI is actually useful technology or not, there are a lot of people that have decided they hate it, and want to lambast it at every opportunity. So they ask it really stupid questions, the sort of questions that a 4-year-old asks you repeatedly, then report what it answers as if their stupid question in some way devalues the AI.






  • 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.

    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
