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

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

#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!

#8 The neural net learned to identify goats in the Middle East.

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