    I would like to see an "AI" trained only up to knowledge through 1903

    Then see if it can come up with E=mc^2

      Phew, never have I seen in my life the goalposts move so fast.

      It seems like even yesterday that the threshold for impressing someone is that the machine would have to be good at pretending to be a person. Now the threshold is that they have to be able to invent special relativity.

        And they’re not allowed to use Lorenz, Riemann, Grossman, Mach, or any other prior art. Only then is it real.
