TC you seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding about how a machine learning system would work
the people are there to train the algorithm on a simple level the AI doesnt know what a banana is until someone has told it what a banana is thats what the people watching the footage were doing.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]
The issue here was that there is a massive, massive difference between building an object recognition model that can tell you that a banana is a banana when it's in clean lighting on a table at a flat angle and one that can identify a banana at any arbitrary distance or angle while also likely being partially occluded due to bodies being in the way. And then managing to make that perfectly accurate model work for every product in the store. From what I remember, they used other things like weight plates to supposedly help the algorithm, but what they were trying to do was never going to be 100% solvable just using computer vision anyway. Stealing anything from the store would literally just be as easy as standing in between the camera and the object and then putting it in your cart if they tried that. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

It's entirely possible Amazon has a building full of Indians sitting there doing data labeling for image recognition, but that's not at all what was happening here and even if it was this wouldn't be the time to do it.That is what was happening here, and seems to be why they discontinued it https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/04/amazon-ends-ai-powered-store-checkout-which-needed-1000-video-reviewers/ it seems like the problem was they were still having people working on the training and it wasnt getting any better "Amazon had more than 1,000 people in India working on Just Walk Out as of mid-2022 whose jobs included manually reviewing transactions and labeling images from videos to train Just Walk Outs machine learning model." and thats specifically what the article in the OP says too The primary role of our Machine Learning data associates is to annotate video images, which is necessary for continuously improving the underlying machine learning model powering, said an Amazon spokesperson to Gizmodo. --- BLACK LIVES MATTER Games: http://backloggery.com/wrldindstries302 \\ Music: http://www.last.fm/user/DrMorberg/ ...

It wasnt just 1000 Indians checking your receipt, it was 1000 Indians attempting to train an ai model (and ultimately failing) i get that the idea of automating checkout cuts out cashier jobs, but this doesnt do it in a way that inconveniences everyone so its different from your typical self checkout --- BLACK LIVES MATTER Games: http://backloggery.com/wrldindstries302 \\ Music: http://www.last.fm/user/DrMorberg/ ...

My frustration is more with how much tech blogs over-hyped the concept only to find out that, as usual, it was a lot of smoke and mirrors. Machine Learning is just such a hotbed of false goods. But even so, there's something strangely dystopian about having a "beta" for something like... a grocery store. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

True. My frustration is more with how much tech blogs over-hyped the concept only to find out that, as usual, it was a lot of smoke and mirrors. Machine Learning is just such a hotbed of false goods. I was going to say the current grocery store format was also beta tested, but the context is different. That was a business experiment in a more naive time. Nowadays they're churning human data through an AI to figure out how much we would willingly spend for permission to buy bananas. --- evening main 2.4356848e+91 https://youtu.be/Acn5IptKWQU ...

There's a reason when this store was announced that no one mentioned "Oh for now we're still training it and everything will involve human intervention". --- http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/Anteaterking/scan00021.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/Anteaterking/scan00021.jpg ...

Maybe it failed because they were doing it in an ineffective way Except it's clearly inefficient. Like I know I have some amount of qualifications, but Amazon should have people who are beyond me in this specific category who would have seen the flaw the second it was proposed. The only reason this ever saw the light of day is because they were always planning to market it the way that they did. --- http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/Anteaterking/scan00021.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/Anteaterking/scan00021.jpg ...
