These other algorithms would be part of the "larger system built around it" that I mention. This larger system has the task of doing what human judgement does.
The "larger system around it" is not trained to "do what a human brain does". That's called "behavioral cloning". The major players do not do that.
That's why the systems are more robust than you probably think to failures in perception. It's also why these systems sometimes fail in ways that humans would never fail.
I think you are misreading me. I am not trying to suggest they work in the same way, simply that they have the same overall task, which I consider to be a very difficult problem.
To your second point, I think we might agree that in order to be more robust to failures in perception, it would be good to understand where the failure modes live. I personally think we need a better understanding than we have today.
