Rule of thumb: use AI on repetitive tasks or where the answer is absolute. If you’re thinking hard in the realm of ambiguity and human behavior, that’s learning how to manage, and you can’t afford to offload it.
As the techniques underpinning this paradigm mature and proliferate over the next decade, it’ll be increasingly clear that there are only two obstacles to building computer systems that solve any task of interest:
- Enabling models to interact with the world with the fidelity required to solve the task
- Finding robust ways to measure whether or not that task has been completed satisfactorily
