AI Won't Replace Us Until It Becomes Much More Like Us

The late Stephen Hawkins worried that AI could end mankind. Elon Musk warned machines that learned to operate without a human telling them what to do could "destroy humanity as a matter of course without even thinking about it" if it "[had] a goal and humanity just happens [to be] in the way.". But reality has proven that while AI can beat humans at games, it still fails at common tasks an infant can do, such as holding an object. In fact, to solve this problem, researchers from OpenAI used 6144 CPUs and 8 GPUs to collect about one hundred years of experience and trained the AI for 50 hours. As a result, the robotic hand can handle unknown objects -- as long as they are "within reason."
