- PhasmaFelis 8y agoI don't think that's changed, no. My hypothesis, incidentally, is that it's really hard for an AI to tell the difference between human and ape facial features at all; they're too similar. It seems easy to us because a big chunk of the human brain is devoted to face processing. The AI pretty much just knew "primate face," and knew that pale primate faces were usually human, but with a dark primate face it could only guess. (Which doesn't excuse Google for releasing it in that state, of course.)
