gollark: AI can't really match humans at general intelligence tasks which we have to think hard about. It absolutely can do much of what we *intuitively* do - categorising cats and dogs, basic language processing, whatever - and nobody is flying planes by manually reasoning through the physics of their actions.
gollark: If they're inferring that from observations of some form, so can a computer system.
gollark: How is a human sensing that exactly?
gollark: Armchairs are easy. Just install balloons.
