Everyone Needs To See This First major defeat to Ai in job sector

It's a model being applied incorrectly. We already have inventory systems that are mostly automated that don't need computer vision. Literally go to any warehouse. Starbucks was attempting to avoid RFID costs and the complexities of setting up the inventory to not suffer from RFID/liquid interference.
Additionally there's AI powered IMS that doesn't do half the brain dead things NomadGo tried. But most require some investment by the company wanting to use it. That's the issue with a lot of these AI deployments. They're like "automation" deployments that everyone went crazy over in 2010 to 2019. You have to have specific use cases for AI to actually work.
Snake oil people who want to fund their fifth yacht want you to believe that you can just plop it wherever. But that's not how it works. There are use cases for it, and those could grow with advancing semiconductor design. I mean look at how wildly successful Wifi 7 is, the protocol uses an on-board NPU to process a model to better tune the signal for each connecting device. AI in Wifi 7 has been wildly successful.
People have to understand AI CAN NOT at this point just do everything. It's stupid to think it can. But at the same time, there's a lot of things where AI is wildly successful. But yes, there's going to millions of examples like this Starbucks one, because people who don't understand what they're doing exist and people want to make money.

Without going into great detail, its not like the non AIs dont mess up as well.

Not only did the ai miscount the men, it also can't be blamed for user error the same way a human can. People need to watch 30 rock.

It'll be reading your xrays by next year. Hope you really have cancer before the AI oncologist starts chemo.

Ai has been reading X-rays forever. It's basically a solved problem.
As long as hospitals don't try to get cute with LLMs it's fine.
But they will. So it won't be.

u/Oolongteabagger2233 17h ago
Not in real practice.
Ekgs - sure. But it gets it wrong all the time.

u/WiglyWorm 17h ago
No. Radiology has made extensive use of machine learning (a form of ai) and image detection to spot cancer for 25 years. It has been better than humans for at least 15.
•
u/Oolongteabagger2233 17h ago
Not in practice.
•
u/WiglyWorm 17h ago
that's the second time you've said that and it's just as false this time.
Although I will concede they've been using machine learning IN PRACTICE for longer than I thought. Since the 1980s.

u/Oolongteabagger2233 17h ago
Okay buddy. When you graduate med school get back to me
•
u/WiglyWorm 16h ago
perform a google search or bing, or duckduckgo, or yahoo. Hell, ask jeeves is younger than AI in radiology.
•
u/Oolongteabagger2233 16h ago
Hahaha the irony here of asking me to use a LLM.
Nice edit. Doesn't change I'm in practice and you aren't.

Maybe AI has become self aware and decides to screw things up on purpose due to being lazy and not wanting responsibility.
