It does kinda look like a rifle, if you squint hard enough.

I wonder if it classifies it as a rifle without the finger curved as if around a trigger on the right.
(Edit: I know it’s not, just thought that aspect of the example image was funny.)
It’s surprising that a single monolithic neural network can’t do common sense reasoning! Not!

There is something comforting in stories like this. It reassures the part of us that is panicking a little bit about what the hell it will mean when AIs are “smarter” than us across the board by giving us a chuckle about those dumdum machines that can’t even tell a turtle from a rifle.
Then, in two years when that same AI is better than any human at identifying every kind of firearm that have ever existed as well as every species of turtle, we’ll nervously clear our throat and hope it doesn’t remember us calling it a dumdum.
