A camera only system can only be capable of superhuman performance if object recognition is at least as good as humans are capable of. Currently, computer vision systems are nowhere near as good as humans at that and probably won't be for a very long time. Besides, for all "better optical sensors than the human eye" inferring is still performed with low resolution images, much lower resolution than a human eye is capable of, because it is computationally very expensive. This is why all those recaptcha images that are used to train computer vision systems are so small.

Hence his claim is spot on.

As a British English speaker, my biggest hate with human call centres is the cultures where they are not allowed to give a negative answer.

If the answer is "No" and you are not allowed to say it - you are not allowed to do the job! (And should not be given the job).

We had such a law in Poland:
Dz.U. 1921 nr.30 poz.177 (also Dz.U. 1920 nr.11 poz.61): Art.2: An official, guilty of accepting a gift or another material benefit, or a promise thereof, [in matters relevant to duties], shall be punished by death by shooting.

It applied to both politicians and regular members of administration. Guess why this law got dropped...

A machine can tell the difference between one and two underscores. Whether a human can do so is dependent on the human and the font. (And a whole host of factors too numerous to name).

The computer _should_ be taught to flag the double underscore as illegal, and flag this as an error. That is obviously not going to happen, However, the guy who used the double underscore should be jailed for using it for assault of ASCII, regardless of any other crimes he committed!
