I can't help but read comments like this as:

"My talking dog always makes mistakes on calculus problems: how embarrassingly bad!"

Has the expectation treadmill really advanced so quickly that sub-human performance on any category of problems is now an embarrassment?

To me I guess it suggests that these models are not using the correct approach. We keep finding new types of tasks the models are bad at, then the next model fixes those issues because those specific tasks are added to the training set. But that approach never results in a generalized problem solving ability, just an ability to solve all the problems we've thought of so far.
