Exactly. It's what the execs are missing.
Also animals thrive in underspecified environments, while AIs like very specific environments. Math is the most specified field there is lol

So specified .. that it can actually prove it can't be completely specified by any single specification
Oooh yeah that's really good framing. Humans have been building machines that outperform humans for hundreds of years at this point, but all in problems which are extremely well specified. It's not surprising LLM's are also great in these well specified domains.
One difference between intelligence and artificial intelligence is that humans can thrive with extremely limited training data, whereas AI requires a massive amount of it. I think if anybody is worried about being replaced by AI, they should look at maximising their economic utility in areas which are not well specified.
