Placing these comments in context having just listened to the superb Chris Hayes discussing the development of AI in a typically enlightening podcast I do feel it amazing that your experience of AI was as described in the stage of development it has reached. I have to say it conflicts with my experience as I would expect by now for AI software to have established what baseball is and that their participants wear caps in contrast to most other sports. I would not have expected it to know that Bub Kuhn was a baseball player but when the image was also labelled with a team name I would have expected it to know that the Cleveland Indians was a baseball team and also typically the colors of their cap. Having used the facilitate to work on soccer images it is clear to me that when you label an image with not just a personal name but an additional team name you get a much better response and that it can often vary its response to differentiate the color of say an Everton label to a Liverpool label. It is interesting to experiment with the image labelling process to see what works and what does not in terms of the desired colorized outcome.
Attached is another image provided, by cinemaodyssey, in response to my request for 1924 Indians images. This is of right handed pitcher Virgil Cheeves. Cheeves made his debut in 1920 with the Chicago Cubs and stayed there for the first 4 seasons of his Major League career. He did not record any decisions in that initial season despite making 2 starts and finishing 2 games in his 5 outings. In both the next 2 years he made 22 starts and went 11-12 and then 12-11 in those consecutive seasons. In the second of those years, 1922 he posted career best figures in the vast majority of statistical categories but his ERA remained over 4. In 1923 his number of starts fell to 8 and he joined the Cleveland Indians in 1924 but his ERA approached 8 and he was decision less in his 8 appearances. He returned to the Majors for his final season with the 1927 New York Giants, again with no record from his 3 appearances.
