I'm not terribly interested in truisms, I'm more interested in figuring out what AIs actually cannot fundamentally do, if anything (present or future).


What are the things that humans actually cannot fundamentally do, if anything?


That's a very large set of things. Calculating 1000000 digits of the decimal expansion of pi within an hour would be just one example.


To be super cheeky:

  wget https://bellard.org/pi/pi2700e9/tpi-0.9-linux.tar.gz
  tar xvf  tpi-0.9-linux.tar.gz 
  time ./tpi -T 8 -o pi.txt 1M
  real 0m0.176s
  user 0m0.500s
  sys 0m0.049s
