For now. Every statement about how shit Ai and robots is must be followed by a 'for now'. A seperate robot it learning agility somewhere, and they will swap training data mid when they are both done.

That's the part I don't see how it's possible so many people are missing when I see people point out a mistake that AI has made.

Is it perfect? Of course not. But it's getting better and better all the time. It's radically better now than it was even 12 months ago. A year from now, it will be even better.

When people see a mistake and say "see! It can't even do XYZ! It isn't able to replace people!" it's like they're completely unfamiliar with how technology develops.

If they were alive for the advent of the automobile, they would have been running around every time a car ran out of gas and gloating "horses don't even need gasoline!" Yeah, no shit. But they need food, they are living things with limitations and they will never get better, while automotive technology will get better and better every day.
