Curiosity of the Day: Huawei's Smartphone Doesn't He was able to distinguish an airplane from a live bird (photo)

A funny technological curiosity is being discussed online: a Huawei smartphone camera, relying on its built-in AI, mistook a flying airliner for an ordinary bird. Apparently, the algorithms were so focused on analyzing silhouettes that they completely ignored the laws of aerodynamics, turning the powerful aircraft into a feathered creature. This incident is a reason to laugh at "smart" gadgets, but also a reason to think. While we're laughing at how a neural network is turning aviation into ornithology, it's becoming a bit disconcerting: how much are we willing to trust digital vision if it's capable of viewing the world so selectively?
