    I’m sad that the relevant xkcd is kinda obsolete now (because it’s been long enough for that research team to finish doing its thing).

      Google photos is alarmingly good at object and individual recognition. It’ll probably be used by the droid war killbots to distinguish “robot” from “human with bucket on head.”

      What would be a “nearly impossible” task in this post-AI world? Short of the provably impossible tasks like the busy beaver problem (and even then, you would be able to make an algorithm that covers a subset of the problem space), I really can’t think of anything.

        Reliability. We can do pretty much anything… with a 5% success rate. Deep learning can take any input, approximate any function and generate the required output, but it’s only as good as the training set and most of them suck. Or it needs to be so large and complex that it’s not fast enough.

            Deterministic means for the same input you always get the same output.

            For AI it would be if you ask it a question multiple times using exactly the same words you would get the same answer.
