Classifier False Positives and Adversarial Bypasses

One user pointed out the exceptionally high false positive rate of such classifiers. Another reply likened the system to a "low-pass filter," noting that while it can filter out some noise, like any classifier, it can be easily bypassed through adversarial training or by finding minor perturbations.

This highlights a classic machine learning and robustness perspective: surface-level performance doesn't equate to genuine stability, especially when adversarial examples can easily shatter decision boundaries with minimal input tweaks.
