While Claude 3.5 Sonnet and GPT-5 are revolutionizing "Computer Use" and interaction planning, they remain surprisingly unreliable for high-stakes visual QA. In this InfoQ video, Stefan Dirnstorfer explains why senior architects shouldn't ditch traditional image processing just yet.

He explores the technical gap between human perception and AI vision, the limitations of libraries like Pixelmatch, and why Image Registration is the key to solving the "one-pixel shift" problem that breaks most CI/CD pipelines.
