Humans have occupied every corner of the planet, from the Arctic to the Sahara, from the Amazon to the Himalayas. Trillions of parameters in human brains have been adjusted rapidly to match the environment.

Fun fact: each additional year of college/University education increases the average IQ by about 1.5 points.

Machine learning algorithms challenge us at our most singular advantage: the ability to learn very efficiently.

However, machine learning algorithms are still not as flexible as humans. They are not as good at learning from a small amount of data, and they are not as good at generalizing from what they have learned.

Human babies need only 1-2 repetitions to learn a new word and associate it with an object.
