OCR is not perfect. And therefore it is not "solved".

  That definition, solved=perfect, is not what sandworm meant and it's an irrelevant definition to this conversation because it's an impossible standard. Insisting we switch to that definition is just being unproductive and unhelpful. And it's pure semantics because you know what they meant.

    Not really, because this entire post is about that last fraction of a %.
    • Dylan16807 2y ago
      It's not, because then they wouldn't want humans, because humans can't do 100% either.

        That's only true if the x% humans can't do is the same x% that OCR can't do.

          I know it matters what percent humans can do. But specifically "that last fraction of a percent" is in comparison to 100, not to humans. The argument I was replying to was about perfection, and rejecting anything short of it. Comparing to humans is a much better idea, and removes the entire argument of "OCR literally can't be that good so the problem isn't solved".
