...because the shooter hid it from the cameras. What a shocker.

Once again the sophisticated method for undermining the AI system is exactly the thing you would do if you didn't know it was there. At best this reduces costs relative to paying a human being to look at cameras. More reasonably I don't know how to compare the relative error rates but I suspect it isn't nearly as favorable as the hype men would try to tell us.
