Moravec’s paradox - Wikipedia

Moravec’s paradox is the observation that, as Hans Moravec wrote in 1988, “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”. This counter-intuitive pattern may happen because skills that appear effortless to humans, such as recognising faces or walking, required millions of years of evolution to develop, while abstract reasoning abilities like mathematics are evolutionarily recent.
