The Mitchells vs. The Machines (Dog breaks image recognition)

Brief description

Having previously discoveredĀ that two robots shut down after failing to identify the strange-looking family dog (00:52:30), Katie straps the dog to the front of the car and drives straight to where the phone controlling the whole machine rebellion is, as every robot that sees the dog shuts down in confusion at the impossible-to-classify dog (01:18;10). Katie's dad sees what she is doing, and manages to escape from the cell the machines have put him in and to broadcast Katie's videos of the dog on all screens, destroying most of the robots (01:27:23)Ā - although some of the most vicious and angular robots are immune, asserting that "We can tell the difference between dog and pig and bread" (01:29:20).Ā

Notes
I added Katie's Dog as a character. The dog is actually the object of confusion and is being classified and in the end destroys the machine so I moved those verbs to the dog. I also think that they are later hacking the system, because, they know how "the system"(the robots) work and can then "overcome an obstacle, within a computerized system by non-standard means" (wikipedia) - Linda
Great! I approve! Changed to Two people agree. - Jill
