Summary:
- Moravec's paradox is the observation that tasks that are easy for humans, like walking or recognizing objects, are actually very difficult for computers to do.
- This is because the skills that are easy for humans, like hand-eye coordination and visual processing, require a lot of complex, subconscious processing that is difficult to replicate in machines.
- In contrast, tasks that are difficult for humans, like mathematical calculations or playing chess, are relatively easy for computers to do because they can be broken down into simple, logical steps.
