My take on this: if we want vision ML to succeed at recognition in the same way as humans, perhaps we need to pre-process and present visual information in the same way as the human vision system? As far as I'm aware, we get a lot of info from our eyes about lines and orientation that assists in recognizing shapes.

I'm not well-informed about the current state of visual recognition DL, perhaps someone who is can tell us more about whether that approach makes sense.

That is a ridiculous straw man and I'm pretty sure you are aware of this. At some point, there is trust involved. You balance the credibility of authentication guarantees based on the level of trust required for the transaction you're making.

It may help in the moment, but any action that reinforces the (faulty) belief that your obsessive thoughts are relevant and worth paying attention to will worsen OCD over time.

The right approach is to teach yourself to be OK with the uncertainty of the door being locked or not. This is what behavioral therapy for OCD, specifically ERP, aims to do.

Your own opinions with regards to depression are factually incorrect.
