There are very few "typical human tasks" that machine learning actually does better than a person at; playing game all the occurs to me. But driving, image description, language-translation, and so-forth, at the scale that a human does it, the human is generally still considered to do tremendously better. Of course, some ML programs are convenient in being able to do things at a large scale but a majority of what ML programs do is like language translation - not great and what we sometimes live with 'cause it's free. Basically, one should really not discount human ability, especially in tasks considered mundane. Such skills often are often considered "mediocre" not because they're actually easy but because all human can do them, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moravec%27s_paradox https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moravec%27s_paradox
