I've heard somewhere online (can't find the source) something along the lines:

> I wish AI would do my laundry and dishes so I could do my art and writing.

> Instead, AI is doing my art and writing so I can do my laundry and dishes



Computers are good at things we find hard. And are bad at things we find easy.

We can't multiply a million numbers together in a second which is hard for us. But doing the tasks for laundry is easy for us but hard for computers.

Which makes sense if you think about evolutionary pressures of what we are optimized to do well.
