The idea that you do this little dial thing and it says bird, it feels like just an amazing breakthrough. Yeah, it was. Mainly because the other people in computer vision thought, OK, so these neural nets, they work for simple things like recognizing a handwritten digit. But that's not a real complicated image with sort of natural background and stuff. It's never going to work for these big complicated images. And then suddenly it did. And to their credit, the people who've been really staunch critics of neural nets and said these things are never going to work. When they worked, they did something that scientists don't normally do, which is that, oh, it worked. We'll do that. People see it as a huge shift.
