Different strategic approaches for different conditions
Tendency to evaluate humans vs AI, rather than AI vs the human system. See also US vs UK driving accidents.
Just like those lines, I think all of our various tests of intelligence aren’t as different as they seem. They’re all full of problems that have a few important things in common:
- There are stable relationships between the variables.
- There’s no disagreement about whether the problems are problems, or whether they’ve been solved.
- There have clear bounda
