AI's math wins may be overhyped — Moravec's paradox, not a singularity signal
StephenLCasper · x · 2026-10-08
Stephen L. Casper argues that AI crushing human achievements in mathematics may be overhyped — more an instance of Moravec's paradox than robust evidence of imminent singularity. He draws an analogy: AI eclipsed humans at Go 10 years ago, yet was far slower to master tasks that would actually change the world.
