These are not the sheep you're looking for

The perils of using context to define everything while understanding nothing.

Our new neural network overlords say that this image has sheep in it.

It must have sheep in it, because the corresponding neural network was trained with pictures containing lush green scenery with sheeps. So every goddamn picture with some green landscape will be tagged with "sheep".

You want to imagine the future, Winston? Just think of landscape pictures, with sheep. Sheeps will be forever. Forever and ever and ever.
