We're moving the goalposts all the time. First we had the Turing test, now AI solving math problems "isn't impressive". Any small mistake is a proof it cannot reason at all. Meanwhile 25% humans think the Sun revolves around the Earth and 50% of students get the bat and ball problem wrong.



Thank you for mentioning the "bat and ball" problem. Having neither a math nor CS background, I hadn't heard of it - and got it wrong. And reflecting on why I got it wrong I gained a little understanding of my own flawed mind. Why did I focus on a single variable and not a relationship? It set my mind wandering and was a nice morsel to digest with my breakfast. Thanks!
