Question for the audience: would you say this is an example of Occam’s razor?
- routerl 5y agoYes, and therefore bad troubleshooting. Don't blame systems for bad input; garbage in, garbage out.

- ben_w 5y agoI wouldn’t. We do know, indeed boast, that AI is used to boost the apparent performance of consumer grade cameras and especially iPhones. There is that example of a photocopier changing numbers in the images it copies. Illusions are reasonably likely to be either in the human or the machine vision systems.
- tshaddox 5y agoI think a better question is how many people would independently develop the accusation if they were presented with the original photo without comment?
- ctdonath 5y agoYes. In an area with lots of leaves, not unreasonable to think motion or parallax unexpectedly included a leaf - vs some wild convergence of leading edge technological bugs perfectly rendering content in a system which shouldn’t.
- Natsu 5y agoThat said, it's hard for people to know any more after things like the "I am not a cat" video.
- OzzyB 5y agoYes indeed. IMO this is also a good example of engineers looking for complex bugs and solutions which are simply not there.
- henvic 5y agoDefinitely. I'm into photography, although I'm not by any means an expert, and when I first saw this news I just ignored it thinking there were so much going on, and the cause might be anything simple, it didn't really spark my curiosity. I thought maybe it was just some processing glitch, maybe it was computational photography messing up, maybe it was just a question of focus, or maybe a mix of things.
