They can't possibly judge what is trivial to achieve and what's a serious, very hard problem.
As always, there is an XKCD for that.
The example given in the comic has moved from one category to the other. Determining whether an image contains a bird is a fairly simple "two hour" task now.
Plot twist: The woman in the comic is Fei-Fei Li, she got the research team and five years and succeeded 🤯
Well that's after thousands of people and 100s of millions in money
Of course, but I still find it remarkable that the task that was picked as an example for something extremely difficult is now trivially easy just a few years later
