Ever since the 1960's we've had AIs that beat aspects of human intelligence. These days AIs are "godlike intelligence" at boardgames, visual recognition, programming (know any programmer, no matter how good, that can get

But that defeats the whole point of AI, as far as business is concerned. You could describe most programming languages as working the same way and having the same limitation. If this is true, then AI will simply mean you'll have very

I have the same question you have. WHY? Why does it matter so enormously to have a SOTA model? I don't understand. Clearly Citibank, Barclays, Wells Fargo and another already know but yeah, I don't understand.
