In the 70s (or 80s) an MIT AI guy thought his graduate students could solve Computer Vision over the weekend or a school vacation.. Chomsky meniond David Marr working on models to start to understand vision^2... With "behavoirism"and probability doesn't seem like people can even start moving in the right direction. It's convenient for mega-machine bureaucracies, corporations and States, if everyone believes they are machines too, i guess...

Oliver Sacks in _Silent Voices_ and the book's source hint at how hard hearing is... Just plugging new parts into people doesn't work. The functions, the inputs and the brain must have to develop together.. Deaf communities think jamming Cochlear Implants into children is a human rights abuse...

“One of our goals for the next five to ten years is to basically get better than human level at all of the primary human senses: vision, hearing, language, general cognition.”
Context
Framed as a corporate research goal for Facebook AI Research.
Why it is considered incorrect
A decade on, systems match or exceed humans on narrow benchmarks but not across vision, hearing, language, and general cognition as a whole; general cognition in particular remains open.
