Fact checking Moravec's paradox

Moravec's paradox claims tasks hard for humans are easy for AI and vice versa, but this principle has never been empirically tested and only appears true because AI researchers focus on specific problem types while ignoring tasks that are easy or hard for both humans and machines. The paradox's evolutionary explanation is flawed, as AI reasoning in open-ended domains remains difficult, and supposed "hard" problems like computer vision have already seen breakthroughs, proving the paradox unreliable for predicting AI capabilities.
