Even simpler examples make the limitations obvious. Images can't distinguish Diet Coke from Coke.

Yes, but I think that still fits. Other people don't want you to use AI to do your job because it makes you more competitive.

A huge amount, most self-proclaimed supporters of "public transportation" are primarily train enthusiasts (which is a fine hobby!). Any concern for safe, clean, effective transportation is incidental and is immediately abandoned i

Good point about electric. Maybe a tax on tires would be more fair, but that would lead to some dangerous behavior. Waymo and I pay a lot in state and federal taxes. Shouldn't that work out that we're paying for a shared resource
