One of my co-workers joked at the time that "sure AlphaGO beat Lee Sedol at GO, but Lee has a much better self-driving algorithm."
I thought this was funny at the time, but I think as more time passes it does highlight the stark gulf that exists between the capability of the most advanced AI systems and what we expect as "normal competency" from the most average person.
- tsunego 2y agoLove me some good old whataboutism (sure, LLMs are now super-intelligent at writing software, but can they clean my kitchen? No? Ha!)
- jvanderbot 2y agoThe computer beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kickboxing. - Emo Phillips Tale as old as time. We can make nice software systems but general purpose AI / Agents isn't here yet.
- TeMPOraL 2y agoWorse than that: it seems that it's much easier to make computer achieve superhuman feats in cognitive work, than it is to make it do even most basic physical interactions with the real world. In short: the natural order of things is that computers are better at thinking, and people are better at manual labor. Which is the opposite of what we wanted.
- jvanderbot 2y agoAI is just hydraulics for the mind. Or should be. I choose a direction and apply force.

- stavros 2y ago> it does highlight the stark gulf that exists between the capability of the most advanced AI systems and what we expect as "normal competency" from the most average person Yes, but now we're at the point where we can compare AI to a person, whereas five years ago the gap was so big that that was just unthinkable.
- EncomLab 2y agoI mean people thought ELIZA was AI back in the 1960's. Everyone always thinks "this is it!!".
