An AI pioneer says the technology is 'limited' and won't replace humans anytime soon

[not fooled]

7. Yep.

AI seems to me to be useful for answering simple, factual questions that benefit from sweeping reviews of large amounts of information, Or, of course, performing well-defined rote tasks that can be automated.

But compare with a human brain when it comes to extrapolating from existing information to create something new, such as writing a story? No way. Or, in my experience, analyzing and interpreting complex visual images, such as of art and antiques. I use reverse image searches to price items I'm considering buying at auction. Google Images which I assume is AI based does a wretched job most of the time, frequently missing the era entirely or wrongly guessing the nature and function of an item. I'm not technically sophisticated enough to define why AI sucks at this, but...it does.
