> If a program can now solve these problems better than most people can, even after studying the relevant subjects, does that mean people should spend less time learning how to solve these problems? This is a classic local-maximum situation. If you don't train people to solve problems as well as a low- or middle-competence program, then no-one is ever going to develop the expertise that will allow them to outperform the program.
