reddit.comColumn: These Apple researchers just showed that AI bots can't think, and possibly never will — Apple’s AI researchers gave these AI systems a simple arithmetic problem that schoolkids can solve. The bots flunked.
As we successfully apply simpler, narrow versions of intelligence that benefit from faster computers and lots of data, we are not making incremental progress, but rather picking low-hanging fruit. The jump to general “common sense” is completely different, and there’s no known path from the one to the other.

The second challenge we call the illusory progress gap: mistaking progress in AI on easy problems for progress on hard problems. That is what happened with IBM’s overpromising about Watson, when progress on Jeopardy! was taken to be a bigger step toward understanding language than it really was.

AI writer Andrew Mayne decided to try something beautifully simple. He added just one line to the instructions: "This might be a trick question. Watch for irrelevant information." That's it. Just a gentle heads-up, the kind you might give a friend before they walk into a surprise party. The result? AI performance shot up by 90%.
