I think what people fail to recognize is that AI/ML solutions will _always_ be imperfect.
But, they scale. There's always a threshold for the accuracy/efficiency point. It's not meaningful to identify errors, even if they seem glaring, if overall you're reducing 80% of loss at 10% of the expense.
- yencabulator 6y agoHuman solutions are _also_ always imperfect. On top of that, you have to also account for the concept that the employees themselves might steal from the store.
- Cd00d 6y agoAgreed. Which is actually an upside to an automated, but imperfect solution as reinforcement. I've just been generally surprised at how often I see an ML solution implemented the complaint is "it isn't perfect", when perfection was not the goal metric. I think people just expect robots to do everything exactly right.
