Artificial Stupidity Could Be The Crux To AI And Achieving True Self-Driving Cars

#artificialintelligence

Humans have both intelligent and "stupid" behavior, should self-driving cars be likewise? When someone says that another person is intelligent, you pretty much assume that this is a praising of how smart or bright the other person might be. In contrast, if someone is labeled as being stupid, there is a reflexive notion that the person is essentially unintelligent. Generally, the common definition of being stupid is that stupidity consists of a lack of intelligence. This brings up a curious aspect.


AI's intelligence and stupidity in one photo stitch fail

Engadget

A Google panorama photo fail from a Reddit user has again shown how good AI can be at weirdly specific tasks and how bad it is at seeing, well, the big picture. A skier with the handle MalletsDarker snapped three photos of friends at the Lake Louise ski resort in Banff, Alberta, and as it does, Google Photos offered to stitch them together. To be sure, the algorithm did a masterful job of blending the three photos. However, it failed to grasp basics like "humans are not eighty feet tall" and turned MalletsDarker's friend into a lurking, Gulliver-sized figure. Looking at the three photos, it's easy to see why Google Photos offered to do a stitch.
