<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 26084412, member: 13650&quot;]I won&#039;t claim to be an expert on AI but from what I gather, we&#039;re rapidly approaching a future where robots are replacing manual labor and AI is gradually replacing human creativity.&nbsp; &nbsp; I&#039;m not saying this is great or I&#039;m really happy about it.&nbsp; Its just happening and can&#039;t be ignored.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; People in this thread have greatly under estimated how rapidly this stuff is evolving.&nbsp; &nbsp; Yes, some of the basic programs online are simply utilizing existing data that&#039;s already out there and it&#039;s not exactly full blown AI.&nbsp; It&#039;s not that impressive.&nbsp; Yet.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; But to think a computer along with AI won&#039;t be able to grade better than humans in the very near future isnt thinking realistically.&nbsp;&nbsp; There doesn&#039;t need to be emotion to grade accurately.&nbsp; In fact you probably want to leave the emotion out of it.&nbsp;&nbsp; (I&#039;d rather not have somebody grading my stuff on a Monday after a rough weekend.)&nbsp; &nbsp; Computer scanners will be able to do this and they&#039;ll be able to grade better and more consistant, than humans can.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The computing power that is rolling out now is difficult to wrap our heads around.&nbsp; &nbsp; Not that long ago, a basic flash drive was only 256 MB.&nbsp; &nbsp; I remember when 1 gig came out and that was a lot of storage. They were expensive.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Then 256 Gig, 512 Gig.&nbsp; &nbsp; Now you can get a 2 Terabyte flash drive (2k gig) of data on a simple flash drive for $20 from Walmart.&nbsp;&nbsp; Storage capacity like that used to cost hundreds of dollars just a few years ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; The capacity a grading computer would be able to have is infinite and instantly accessible.&nbsp; It would never need breaks or days off.&nbsp; &nbsp; It will have the capacity to store every coin of every type that ever goes through it in infinite detail.&nbsp; It will likely be able to compare say a 1964 quarter against all other 1964 quarters it has seen, plus every grading guideline in existence, in mere seconds if not fractions of a second.&nbsp; It&#039;ll be connected to a mainframe that has data that other computers have stored.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If anything the grading will likely get far more accurate and more detailed while also getting a lot more grading done.&nbsp;&nbsp; Counterfeits and cleaning will be more accurately detected.&nbsp;&nbsp; Hell, they&#039;ll proabably have real time metalergic analysis while grading is underway.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; In 2018 we had a super computer that was considered the best of the best at the time.&nbsp;&nbsp; In 2024 they had a new one at a lab in CA that they say is 22x better than that machine from 2018.&nbsp;&nbsp; Uses 30 megawatts of electricity and runs 1.742 quintillion calculations per second!&nbsp; &nbsp; Complex high res 3D simulations that would have taken weeks or months on the 2018 platform are done in hours or days on this new one.&nbsp; And on it goes.&nbsp; This just keeps unfolding and getting better.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I&#039;m not saying NGC and PCGS are going to have a supercomputer any time soon but this massive capability and advancement eventually trickles down.&nbsp; There will be a desire to take advantage of this computing power.&nbsp; Grading seems like the ideal example of a task that will totally be taken over.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
