When we have near-human level deep learning models for things humans can do, what does this level of performance look like when applied to things we can’t do at all?

I mean, you can't blend as fast as the blender in your kitchen. You can do the same motion and number of repetitions, but the machine is much better than you at it.

I think we're at the same step in the industrial/data revolution.

Humans CAN do things, but AI can do them much quicker and faster.

A blender still needs human input, and a human to decide what and when to blend something.

A blender or Roomba wasn't envisioned when electric appliances started to be invented, maybe the world will be a better place with AI tools that we can't envision yet? Here's hoping.

AI assisted chemistry so that we can refine oil out of the atmosphere?

AI modified plants/photosynthesis to create oil/sugars/plastic out of the atmosphere?

We already have AI that can model proteins folding sequences, and protein language is just another thing for the language models to learn. Here's hoping for a better world.
