   likely to use AI tech - and it is THEIR experiences
   that are incorporated into the AI's training. This
   is a sneaky bias - and such biases often result in
   ridiculous, or stupid, results.

   Long back the US Mil designed a neural-network AI
   to detect various kinds of military vehicles, tanks
   and such. After a huge investment it was discovered
   that all the training photos were taken on clear
   sunny days. The AI did not detect the vehicles, but
   the clear sunny day instead ......
