After 30 years of eating Toblerone, Ralph Aboujaoude Diaz used a computer vision algorithm to spot the bear in Toblerone’s iconic mountain. He shared his find on LinkedIn.
After three decades of eating Toblerone, Mr Diaz took to a professional networking site and marvelled at the fact it was only an algorithm which had revealed there’s a hidden bear in its iconic mountain. He quipped “Once seen, it cannot be unseen!”
He explained AI-enabled tech makes us more intelligent, citing the Bern bear on Toblerone as an example – made in Bern, Switzerland.
People only noticed the bear in the Swiss chocolate company’s logo when they looked closely.
“You missed it completely; I spotted it straight away when I had my first bite.”
A commenter questioned the AI accomplishment, suggesting it was likely tagged by a human and added to the training data.
