Prizes and honours
gollark: "Find useful stuff" also sounds pleasantly easy, but it's *not*. Even a human reading a repository or paper may struggle to find "useful" bits; reasoning about the relevance of a new set of information or methods for a project is a difficult general intelligence task.
gollark: I mean, "list of AI" is probably easy enough, you could just... search github using some keywords, and maybe research papers.
gollark: Just because you can describe a task in a sentence or so doesn't mean you can give a description clear and detailed enough to think about programming it.
gollark: Early attempts at AI back in the last millennium tried to create AIs by giving them logical reasoning abilities and a large set of facts. This didn't really work; they did some things, hit the limits of the facts they had, and didn't do anything very interesting.
gollark: They don't even have *memory* - you just train the model a bunch, keep that around, feed it data, and then get the results; next time you want data out, you use the original model from the training phase.
