Patterson: Robots will be solved by general AI, not robot training

davidpattersonx reiterates his contrarian take while quoting deltaintelli's real-to-sim work: high-fidelity reconstruction captures appearance, geometry and physics, and on a dishwasher task sim and real success rates track the same trend as data grows (86% vs 89% at full data).
His argument: getting to 99% on simple physical tasks will be enough. Assessment, planning, supervision and correction will come from general AI models — "Robotics will be solved by general AI, not by training robots. Soon."
