>Fair enough, but I wonder if the best use of AI research is to get computers to solve problems that a person could easily solve. I don't know about "best", but solving problems that a person can solve will increase the standard of living and create immense economic growth, because solving problems that only humans can solve means that more human work can be automated.

Will it really increase overall standards of living? We already have problems with there not being enough jobs to go around, automating more human work will just make that worse.

    I see this a lot online: pointing out that a concept has a name is not a refutation.

      Also they got the name wrong. Not to mention the definition.
