I remember meeting someone at a networking event who believed they could win the competition and get > 90% accuracy. I tried to explain that you can't read minds; you can't account for the fact that I'm going to watch a movie that I saw in a random internet post that I didn't know that I liked... Which was my real beef with the contest: Computers can't read minds. They can't analyze the content of the movie and have the emotional experience that a person can.

> They can't analyze the content of the movie They probably could. Apple photos is already capable of judging the quality of your photos, so it’s not too much of a leap to think that a model could be trained to recognise good from bad movies. On the other hand there are far fewer movies than photos for training on so it’s hard to say how good the results would be.
