Pretty sure the only thing computer vision does is math.

I’ve also observed email clients tallying the number of unread emails I have. It’s quite obnoxious actually, but I qualify adding as math.

That is only marginally less pedantic than saying that the only thing computer vision does is run discrete electrical signals through billions of transistors.


If you’ve ever written code for a computer vision application, you’d realize how incorrect this statement is.


Yes, everything that a computer does, it does using math. This does not imply that things running on the computer can do basic arithmetic tasks for the user.
