Microsoft keep creating jokes in the industry. They claimed their AI image captioning achieving human parity and announced it in Ignite. Another good example of AI fake claims and management leaders have no knowledge.
Human parity on the datasets, not in real world conversations. I am not surprised. AI can already beat us in unstructured environments starcraft but that doesn’t mean it can start thinking on its own. For example, can it design a software library by taking constraints and final goals into account? Definitely not.
Amazon AI is worse than Microsoft. Alexa is stupid. Apart from device integrations, theres nothing fancy. For me Microsoft ai is still one of the industry leaders along with google
Another Amazonian attacking Microsoft. STFU and mind your own work culture.
Seeing AI is available to download for blind but you can play with image captioning, which is very impressive from Azure AI
Why would you say it fake - I have been following the AI captioning in Stream .. it has improved a lot over the last one year .. It sure is not at human parity - mostly due to internal abbreviations and tech jargon.. I would say they are way closer than the speech recognition of other players, including what we have in Amazon's app
Have you used Cortana? It is way worse than echo..
All these comparisons are made under fixed dataset and they keep overfitting it. Waste a lot of energy. When it goes to wild situations, It becomes useless. It can not simulate Human’s capability in the wild at all. The word Human parity is just a cheating academic word.
