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.
