Try this yourself

Choose a hypothetical system that excels at translation but fails at planning. Describe its capability without calling it generally intelligent.

Check your understanding

High performance on a narrow task and broad generality are different properties. Autonomy also does not establish intelligence on its own.

A mistake to avoid

Avoid promised AGI arrival dates or claims that one demo settles the question. This tutorial introduces evaluation thinking, not a forecast.

Before looking at the answer, write a short explanation and one example of your own. Finish by naming one limitation of the method. Use Mark as read when you are ready, or return to the previous lesson if a term is unclear.
