The "non-trivial" is for human abilities. The weights lifted by a crane are also "non-trivial". People keep getting amazed at machine's abilities. Just like a radio telescope can see things humans can't, microscope can see the detail humans can't, we need not be amazed. The sensory perception of patterns is at different level for AI. It's a machine.
- svnt 5mo agoToo many people are wrapped around the ego axle thinking (assuming) their ideas are both them and somehow unique and special. It usually takes dissolving that, often through difficult experiences, before they can see it as a machine, something that could be separated from them.
