> AI is tackling problems that appear exponentially more difficult.
The hardest AI problems are the ones that involve multiple disciplines in deep ways. Here's a top tier artificial intelligence problem: given a plain English description of a computer program, implement it in source code.
There might be some cases where this is possible, and some cases are bound to fail.
Those are the kind of difficult problems in AI, which combine knowledge, understanding, thought, intuition, inspiration, and perspiration - or demand invention. We would be lucky to make linear progress in this area let alone exponential growth.
I think there's certainly an impression of exponential progress in AI in popular culture, but the search space is greater than factorial in size, and I think hackers should know that.
