Is it me making the mistake, or is it you making that very mistake in the other direction?
Back in the "mainframe era", we had entire lists of tasks that even the most untrained humans would find trivial, but computers were impossibly bad at. Like following informal instructions, or telling a picture of a dog from that of a cat.
We're in the "AI era" now, and what remains of those lists? What are the areas of human advantage, the standing bastions of human specialness? Because with modern AI, the list has grown quite thin. Growing thinner as we speak.
- djhn 6mo agoThe success rate of computers doing those tasks has gone from 0% to 70%-90%, but reaching 100% might take a very long time.
