Directly access another mind
- Can’t know what you’re experiencing from the inside
- Always inferring, never directly knowing
Create genuine novelty from nothing
- Everything AI does is recombination of training data in some sense
- Can’t transcend its input information fundamentally
Access information that doesn’t exist yet
- Can’t know tomorrow’s lottery numbers or unplanned human decisions
- Can’t predict creative choices people haven’t made
Achieve Real-Time General Human-Level Intelligence (AGI)
No AGI in the near term—AI won’t:
- Think like a human
- Understand context perfectly
- Have common sense at human level
- Self-improve autonomously
Replace High-Level Software Engineers
AI code assistants will get better, but they cannot:
- Architect large-scale systems independently
- Debug complex multi-layer issues
- Consider trade-offs (security, scalability, cost)
- Understand product requirements deeply
- Guarantee bug-free, production-level code
Achieve Perfect Understanding of Emotions
AI cannot:
- Truly “feel” emotions
- Accurately detect subtle feelings
- Offer therapy that replaces humans
- Form meaningful personal bonds
Replace Human-to-Human Trust-Based Interactions
AI cannot replace:
- Friendships
- Mentorship
- Parenting
- Leadership
- Community building
Note : Some things AI might do in the future depend entirely on having enough data. Since AI is completely data-dependent, once it gets the right amount of data, it may be able to do things that currently seem impossible
