And still the goats laugh at us while staying just out of range.

#7  Yes, It's extremely hard to tell what your AI neural net has actually learned...

#6  Heard a funny anecdote from the early days of neural networks. The task was telling trucks from tanks in photos, something the military was quite interested in. The neural net showed astounding accuracy and everyone was giddy with success... until someone noticed all the tank pix were taken in the shade and the trucks were in sunlight. Bottom line, the network had learned to tell light pictures from dark pictures and was basically a rather baroque light meter. Choose your datasets wisely, O my brothers!

#4  ^ But with massive amounts of data, they'll learn. Fast.

#3  All they're doing is pattern recognition. It will still be less sophisticated than the vision of most land animals.
