Default A.I. doesn't like inconsistency and messiness!

Hi Glenn,

One of my brothers runs a fund where they focus on innovation...

It's been illuminating talking about the "self-driving cars" phenomenon with him over the years (as he's kept track of the developments)...

If everything followed the "rules" - it would be easy. But there are always things popping up that are not "cleanly" following the rules, that cause problems!

For example, road works... Suddenly, road works come up. Signs come up instructing cars to behave a certain way around the road works or construction zones...

Cars have to obey humans in uniform, giving hand signals on whether to go or to stop.

Humans have no problem with it.

Self-driving cars, though, at the moment, get flummoxed.

And the specific set up can be different for every different road works zone...

Real life is "messy"...

Like in your example with the waitress!

A.I. is great when the rules are consistent and clear. When things get "messy"... Well, I think that's when it can screw up...

It's really interesting trying to figure out A.I.'s limitations...

Best wishes!

Dien
