Lists of things that supposedly separate humans from machines—like anthropomorphism, coding, and math proofs—are falling apart as AI advances, similar to how historical distinctions between humans and other species crumbled with new data. A replier counters that AI agents are just statistical models, but the original author suggests such confident assertions are increasingly fragile.
