Moreover, these studies rely on human-centric experimental designs. They involve tasks that other species would never naturally encounter, such as computer touch screens and plastic toys.

It turns out that computers are particularly adept at the tasks that we humans find most difficult: crunching equations, solving logical propositions, and other modes of abstract thought. What artificial intelligence finds most difficult are the sensory perceptive tasks and motor skills that we perform unconsciously: walking, drinking from a cup, s
