| Great example of this general class of reasoning failure. “AI does badly on my test therefore it’s bad”. The correct question to ask is, of course, what is it good at? (For bonus points, think in terms of $/task rather than simply being dominant over humans.) |

| "AI does badly on my test much like other AI's did before it, therefore I don't immediately see much improvement" is a fair assumption. |
