   @mloxton @SethRudy That's because companies are making products like AI has Literal Intelligence instead of Artificial Intelligence.🤦♂️

   It doesn't "know" anything. It can recognize patterns of words based on the data it was trained on.

   That's it. Nothing more. Nothing less.

   If it was trained specifically on bird pictures and it got it wrong, well....that's on the company.😬

     Thinking about AI again.

     Yesterday, the AI-powered bird-ID thing my mom gave me detected what it identified as a scarlet ibis.

     Now I have a couple options. I can say, hey, this AI has seen a lot more birds than I have, so if it says one of the two national birds of Trinidad and Tobago stopped to eat in my backyard, so be it. Or I can look at the photo and say, well that there’s a cardinal.

     You have to already know stuff to know the AI is wrong. But no one is going to treat it that way.
