These are valid differences, but none of them seem particularly challenging to an AI, assuming some equivalence between image and text recognition. To a human, sure because it is more difficult to formally specify. Arguably an AI could benefit from the fuzziness because the set of acceptable outputs is larger.

And I’d also say that the argument is a bit straw man-y because it considers (some of) the complexities of frontend, with a fairly ideal view of the backend. Once you bring concurrency, scale and state, backend can become fairly Lovecraftian as well.
