AI excels at logic, but struggles with a toddler’s simple moves. Moravec’s Paradox celebrates the unique, organic brilliance of being human. Our real-world skills are miracles.

Moravec’s paradox: “It is comparatively easy to make computers exhibit adult level performance on intelligence tests or playing checkers, and difficult or impossible to give them the skills of a one-year-old when it comes to perception and mobility.”
Or as Steven Pinker put it, “The main lesson of thirty-five years of AI research is that the hard problems are easy and the easy problems are hard”.
This paradox isn’t just about AI’s limitations; it’s a testament to the unique, organic brilliance within each of us, prompting a deeper appreciation for the subtle miracle of simply being human and interacting with the world.
And no GPT 5, Grok 5, Claude 5 or any other LLM-based tool will change that.
