The thing with pointing out "AI can't do X!" is that, if you keep refining X into something narrow and precise enough, you'll eventually cross a threshold where a realistic amount of engineering and training data make X possible.

AI can always do *specific* things -- as long as they're sufficiently specific and you're investing sufficient effort / data. The problem with AI isn't that it can't do a specific X, it's that it has basically no intelligence at all at this time. No general cognitive abilities.

Intelligence simply means moving to a different part of the specificity / effort spectrum, one where you can master broad tasks with little effort. You can always make up for a lack of intelligence by reducing task uncertainty (making X more specific) or investing more effort.

No matter how stupid the student, they can always pass the exam if you give them a set of problems very similar to what they will be tested on (reduced task uncertainty), and if they're willing to spend countless hours studying them (more experience).

What's hard is to improvise from little experience in the face of high uncertainty and novelty. That's what biological intelligence has evolved for. That's what current algorithms and models can't do at all.

Aristotle kind of nailed it in Poetics, part 3 section XXII. It's about seeing commonalities, crossing traditional categories to effect a deeper truth, on an almost intuitive basis. Don't think we'll be coding that anytime soon.pic.twitter.com/cRSeSc39CF

we are missing the point about the source of intelligence.. if source is just an issue of chemical reactions in the brain then I would agree that eventually with enough technical power we might be able to get there.. but if the source is beyond physical reality, then we will not

If it's beyond physical reality, it will have no effect on us.

If the operational unit is culture, we can already master broad tasks with little effort....
