If it's any consolation, there are still tons of things humans are far better at than machines.

- atemerev 11y agoThe only remaining are language-related. Natural languages are the next focal point of AI research.
- sago 11y agoSkill related. I'd be interesting to see how quickly driving AIs take to beat the best human drivers, in a weight-equal vehicle. An algorithmic competitor in formula one, would be interesting.
- eru 11y agoLike http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/science/science-news/11410261/Driverless-car-beats-racing-driver-for-first-time.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/science/science-news/1141026... ?
- genericpseudo 11y agoWould be a stomp for the computer; they don't have to respect G-forces.
- sago 11y agoRacing cars aren't limited by the driver's G tolerance, I don't think. They generate 4G-ish, from what I hear on the F1 coverage. Well within driver capabilities. Their G is limited by tyres.
- d0m 11y agoI feel AI could take so much more risk if there's no lives in danger so that would give them an edge.
- vkou 11y agoThat, and towel-folding [1]. Humans have a pretty clear edge on that. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gy5g33S0Gzo&ab_channel=RLLberkeley https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gy5g33S0Gzo&ab_channel=RLLbe...
- TorKlingberg 11y agoThat is actually a really impressive robot.
- faizshah 11y agoThe more recent results are even more impressive: https://news.berkeley.edu/2015/05/21/deep-learning-robot-masters-skills-via-trial-and-error/ https://news.berkeley.edu/2015/05/21/deep-learning-robot-mas...
- s_kilk 11y agoThat's pretty cool. I wonder how it would deal with a teddy bear or stray piece of underwear in the pile of towels?
- PascalsMugger 11y agoI look forward to a future when the only remaining occupation is hotel maid.
- s_kilk 11y agoBut, who's going to stay in the hotels? Will the robotic occupants even need towels folded? ;)
- studentrob 11y ago> The only remaining are language-related That is a gigantic over-simplification. All machines are application specific, even machine-learning based ones. They all require human supervision, whether through goal setting or fixing errors. There are some areas where machines are better than humans, and playing Go is now one of them, but that doesn't mean machines will replace humans in all facets at any given point in time. We grow, our tools grow, and the cycle repeats.
- moistgorilla 11y agoHow about walking and image recognition.
- PascalsMugger 11y agoThe recent video of Boston Dynamics Atlas robot looked like it could walk about as well as a human, maybe even better at recovering its balance (see it heroically walking through snow).
- moistgorilla 11y agoNot to downplay how amazing Atlas is but I don't think that it reaches "about as well as a human" yet.
- EliRivers 11y agoI see "AI" doing well in games that have simple inputs, a limited range of legal outputs, and relatively easy "goodness" measures. I see nothing that might be able to tell us why gravitational mass is the same as inertial mass, for example, or any moves in that direction. This "AI" is good at simple games.
- EliRivers 11y agoAs an addendum to my comment, a number of people working at Deepmind agree with me.
- TulliusCicero 11y agoNot true, humans are better than computers at Starcraft, even despite AI's tremendous APM advantage.
