reader, today I discovered that the image classifier AI in iCloud has tagged over a hundred photos and videos of Odin as "bear" 🐻

[rollotreadway@beige.party]

@0xabad1dea Is that entirely wrong, though? Are you quite sure he's not a bear?

@RolloTreadway @0xabad1dea gay men are hairy and burly, but not that hairy and burly, in general.

[jmax@mastodon.social]

@0xabad1dea - A plausible classification if you don't know.

[nini@oldbytes.space]

@0xabad1dea He's just friend shaped.

[josh0@babka.social]

@0xabad1dea this seems like a fairly reasonable mistake.

[me@mastodon.cysioland.pl]

@0xabad1dea the AI in Nextcloud Photos (Recognize) labeled some dogs as wolves and some wolves as dogs

[gevoel@mastodon.green]

@0xabad1dea
It failed In biology 102

[gameshack_@infosec.exchange]

@0xabad1dea i would’ve classified even more as bear perhaps horse. definitely also all of them as “good boy”.

[rrb@infosec.exchange]

@0xabad1dea Are you arguing with the superintelligent spellchecker?

AI can not lie! It is just math!

You have a bear as a pet.

In related news, all women and dark skinned people are the same person. That is why facial recognition systems have high "false positive" rates for those demographics.

If AI says it, it must be true.

Why else would companies be pouring so much money into it?

@0xabad1dea Google can do that, too! Here's a photo I took while participating in an actual cattle drive in Eastern Oregon:

@0xabad1dea @pattykimura just waiting for the city dept of public health/animal welfare/whatever to have tagged you as walking a bear in the city because they're also using AI on all their surveillance cameras
