Yes, but there are only two kinds of things that computers do better
than humans (or even birds and mammals):  storing large volumes of
data exactly and computational things like arithmetic and chess.    (02)

For go, the computational methods can beat amateurs, but not the
lowest level of go masters.  That's because humans use perceptual
mechanisms that no computer today can come close to matching.    (03)

Robots can do extremely precise detail, but they can't do things that
are trivial for humans and other animals:  e.g., wash dishes the way
people do or build a bird's nest the way birds do.    (04)

Please go do your homework on the state of the art of AI today.    (06)

An elevator pitch for something that nobody knows how to do
would be worthless.    (07)
