Ask HN: What are computers not good at?
Many things can be automated with computers. What are the things that they do not do well and still need that human touch?
Bonus. How long before they don't suck at said things?

2. What in philosophy is described as soul or consciousness, it could probably never evolve to have it.
3. Computers may become adept at meta-stuff, and self-awareness but they would probably still lack the said soul.
4. Even if they ever evolve their consciousness, it would never match ours, since humans live in a perception dimension which almost never matches reality ( reality itself is evolving, or so it seems ). With that, if we tried to feed in rules or algorithms to model learning so consciousness could evolve, it would still be off mark from the feeling of consciousness which we so profoundly seek to understand.
A computer cannot figure out that the three photos contains the same verb.
When will computers do that well? Never.
Being intuitive about the world.
Learning.
Do you have some resource ?
I strongly disagree. It doesn't always do brute force. It mostly works on assumptions and testing the scenario against the assumptions made. Validating and refining the assumptions to closely model reality. This is also correlated with why superstitions were very much prevalent in primitive societies. They worked as a rule of thumb.
If it mostly worked by brute force, we would be extinct by now. I know that's a little far stretched to say, but i strongly feel that's how dangerous it could get if the brain always did brute force.
