But that ends up with weirdly dogmatic rules because it's not always a bad idea to move a pan without using the handle, it's just in some situations. It still takes a ton of potentially destructive iterations to be sure of something.
I know the trend with AI is to keep the scope generic so it can tackle different domains and look more like us, but I believe that even if we reach that, we'll always come back to make it better for a specific skill set, because we also do that as humans. No reason for an AI driver to know how to cook.
If we narrow the domain as much as possible it will cut the number of experiments it needs to do significantly
Edit: I wonder if its even going to be useful to devote so much resources into making a machine as similar as us as possible. We don't want a plane to fly like a bird, even if we could build it.
