Isn't the point of computers to have machines that improve on default human weaknesses, not just reproduce them at scale?
They've largely been complementary strengths, with less overlap. But human language is state-of-the-art, after hundreds of thousands of years of "development". It seems like reproducing SOTA (i.e. the current ongoing effort) is a good milestone for a computer algorithm as it gains language overlap with us.
Why would computers have just one “point”? They have been used for endless purposes and those uses will expand forever
