Yes, I would do better. I would take a look at the pictures, and think about the angles / geometry, the reason of differences between the pictures, and being able to count sure helps. If they were to show me pictures in a vastly different style, I would make assumptions, like it is a different representation of the same concept. I would not just mash them together based on color values.

I get what you’re coming from, but the only reason these models seem to be able to get stuff done, is the insane amount of training data and iterations.

Enjoying this discussion, by the way! It’s fun to think about.
