    I don’t know, Google Photos not only recognizes cats, it can tell the difference between each of my cats.

      Certainly image recognition has advanced by leaps and bounds, but I think the point of this story is that most people, those not in the IT or science fields, do not have a basis for comparing the advancements of AI and the entire process involved in machine learning. Therefore, significant progress for scientists can be perceived as minor progress to the general public.
