    Probably the same type of image recognition that volunteers have been training for years on data sets ranging from exoplanets to tumor cells.

      Humans are terrible at unbiased image analysis.

      and

      Pigeons are more accurate. They just buy fewer BMWs.

        That’s like people being worse at riding horses today. We don’t need the skill because we have tools that replaced it and generally do a better job.

          It’s a good thing that we don’t need any doctors to train the AI or verify its results afterwards, because otherwise you’d be dangerously wrong with this comparison.

            That’s fair. I’m probably not thinking it through. I can certainly see how this could quickly go downhill. I think we’ll see the reality of it with today’s school generations getting jobs in a few decades.
