AI's bottleneck is vision: can't proactively spot errors, video understanding inefficient

Reddit user JoelMahon argues that the current bottleneck in AI is vision. Using the example of a blind person developing a game, he explains that AI lacks the ability to actively observe and evaluate its own output, failing to catch issues in the loop. He notes that while AI can identify errors in static images, it cannot proactively detect them in videos, and video processing typically runs at 1-5 frames per second, far below human perception. Additionally, image tokenization differs greatly from brain processing.
