Are Cats Competing For Your Job?
Are Cats Competing For Your Job?

Artificial intelligence may be the least of your problems, according to this kitten.

In The Robots Are Coming: The Future of Jobs in the Age of Automation, 47 percent of U.S. jobs are “at risk of being replaced by robots and artificial intelligence over the next fifteen to twenty years.”

But in recent reports, experts have discovered that the furry feline sitting on your couch could be the real threat to society. CI takeover is a new fear in humanity, and according to Larry Elliot: “Cats will take our jobs. We’d better plan now, before it’s too late.”

Since at least 2013, Google has been integrating automated bot-detection into its CAPTCHAs. But there’s one thing they haven’t considered: Are you a cat?

The difference between bot and cat are widely unknown. However, we have recently studied the way a cat moves its mouse before clicking the “I am not a robot” button.

According to Google, CAPTCHA is defined as:

“A program or system intended to distinguish human from machine input, typically as a way of thwarting spam and automated extraction of data from websites.”

Take away the p, and you’ve got CATCHA. Is this a conspiracy theory for cats wanting to take over the world?

According to wired.com, Google’s artificial brain learned to find cat videos in 2002:

“Picking up on the most commonly occurring images featured on YouTube, the system achieved 81.7 percent accuracy in detecting human faces, 76.7 percent accuracy when identifying human body parts and 74.8 percent accuracy when identifying cats. We never told it during the training, ‘This is a cat,’” Jeff Dean, the Google fellow who led the study, told the New York Times. “It basically invented the concept of a cat.”
