There are things Chimps do easily that humans fail at, and vice/versa of course.

There are blind spots, doesn't take away from 'general'.




We can't agree whether Portia spiders are intelligent or just have very advanced instincts. How will we ever agree about what human intelligence is, or how to separate it from cultural knowledge? If that even makes sense.


I guess my point is more, if we can't decide about Portia Spiders or Chimps, then how can we be so certain about AI. So offering up Portia and Chimps as counter examples.


The downvotes should tell you, this is a decided "hype" result. Don't poo poo it, that's not allowed on AI slop posts on HN.


Yeah, I didn't realize Chimp studies, or neuroscience were out of vogue. Even in tech, people form strong 'beliefs' around what they think is happening.
