According to the US-based AI company, most of the world still thinks about AI as chatbots and better search.

“But today, we have systems that can outperform the smartest humans at some of our most challenging intellectual competitions. Although AI systems are still spikey and face serious weaknesses, systems that can solve such hard problems seem more like 80 per cent of the way to an AI researcher than 20 per cent of the way,” according to OpenAI.

The gap between how most people are using AI and what AI is presently capable of is immense.
