Some people within the field seem finally to be recognizing these points. University of Montreal professor Yoshua Bengio, one of the pioneers of deep learning, recently acknowledged that “deep [neural networks] tend to learn surface statistical regularities in the dataset rather than higher-level abstract concepts.” In an interview near the end of

While human experts may excel in specific domains, "no single human — no matter how intelligent — possesses a comparable breadth of skills" to AI. This highlights AI's advantage in covering a wide range of tasks.
