But it also shows it&amp;#x27;s not very good on any of those tasks. In any case, machine translation, despite its great popularity as a natural language processing task, is another AI task for which we do not have good metrics. &amp;gt;&amp;gt; Just by a simple example of translation, it understands the task and does translation. By another example, it can do math, and by another one it can do reasoning, or write react apps. I think in general, there&amp;#x27;s a tendency to overestimate the capabilities of…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1902.01007/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.

It means that on some fixed dataset you&amp;#x27;re achieving 96% accuracy. I&amp;#x27;m baffled by this stupidity of claiming results (even high-profile researchers do this) based on datasets with models that are nowhere near as robust as the actual intelligence that we take as reference: humans. Take the model that makes you think &amp;quot;sentiment analysis is at 96%&amp;quot;, come up with your own examples to apply a narrow Turing test to the model, and see if you still think sentiment analysis (or any NLP task) is anywhere near being solved. Also see: [1]. I think continual Turing…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1902.01007/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
