Machines now beat humans at lip-reading

How do I know you're lying? My computer is watching your lips moving.

Once again computers are proving more capable at something that has long been the domain of humans.

Nothing all that unusual here, really: Machine-based lip recognition systems have finally advanced to the point where they can detect with 80 percent accuracy what a person is saying, in the absence of audio. Humans score a pathetic 32 percent accuracy on average on the same job.
