<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 96033, member: 3011&quot;]I used to see a lot of the &quot;computers will never be able to _______&quot; type of arguments applied to computer chess as it pertained to mimicing human intelligence and judgement.&nbsp; Now world champions have a difficult time holding their own against the mechanical monsters.&nbsp; It&#039;s pointless to refer to what failed in the past, because technology is always advancing.&nbsp; It&#039;s pointless to fall back on esthetics, because programs now exist that can scan a group of human faces and predict accurately which one will be voted &quot;most beautiful.&quot;&nbsp; It&#039;s pointless to refuse to rely on a human programming team, but rely on a human to grade a coin.&nbsp; Maybe someone will devote the research dollars to come up with computerized coin grading.&nbsp; Maybe it won&#039;t be considered economical, like inventing a lettuce-picking machine to replace illegal immigrants.&nbsp; But it most likely isn&#039;t beyond the ability of technology to mechanically grade coins accurately today, and almost certainly will be possible in the future if it is decided to be worthwhile and provide an economic return to someone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
