In which capabilities are AI not already close to or beyond that of a human brain?

Here are a few:

* Forming a long lasting memory from a single encounter

* Speed of adaptation to new environments

* Deft manual dexterity, like playing the violin and needlework

* Competing in a triathlon (requires running, biking, and swimming)

* Having a single agent that can do ALL of those things and more

Humans understand and perform tasks in many more than just the few modalities current model providers have focused on. I'm not discounting the utility of current models in the limited domains they operate in, but they are no where close to being generalists like a human or other animals.

I don't feel like the models are becoming any better at writing.

Rap lyrics are a good test. They are on the level of a censored version of Insane Clown Posse. Just terrible.
