If we’re supposedly training AIs to recognize cars, busses, etc. by filling in CAPTCHAs, how come we are still teaching them the same stuff as 10 years ago? Shouldn’t the images have gotten harder or more sophisticated, to reflect the AIs increasing ability to recognize objects?

Question

I’ve been filling them out now for nearly 10 years, and they’re always the same! If someone can explain to me how this can be, I’d be very grateful <3

Autonomous vehicle related data acquisition is so full of middle men, it already turned into selffullfilling job where having it completed isn’t a target. And as in every middleman infested enterprise, there is no way that news of nonsense and mistakes found on lowest levels ever reach the right ear. Parameters are copy pasted from one project to another without a hint of common sense. For example you are supposed to ignore lidar data that show the height above 180cm even though the car used in a project is originally 182cm tall and there is a million dollar lidar toy mounted on its roof.
