James GleickI’m stumped. As usual, I’m supposed to persuade a robot that I am not a robot. Does the bottom-center square contain a bicycle?
I know what René Magritte would say.
John Baker (El Padrino)@JamesGleick Since that is only a picture of a bicycle, not an actual bicycle you clearly must answer no.
@JamesGleick However, since the issue is not what is true but what the algorithm believes to be true, you clearly must answer yes
@jdbaker237 I agree with your reasoning, on both counts. However, I answered no, and the robot let me through. Several people have suggested that the algorithm allows a certain number of “wrong” answers.

In the trolley problem you'd want the self driving car to crash into the signpost and not the human on a bicycle
