The assumption that ML lacks reasoning is outdated. While it doesn’t “think” like a human, it learns from more scenarios than any human ever could. A vision-based system can, in principle, surpass human performance, as it has in other domains (e.g., AlphaGo, GPT, computer vision in medical imaging).

The real question isn’t whether vision-based ML can replace humans—it’s when it will reach the level where it’s unequivocally safer.
