Evolution produced language and engineering, but machines still lag in pattern recognition

Evidence

For creatures of biological origin, advanced information processing is the result of continuous evolution through mutation and selection. The use of language and conceptual thinking has helped humans to survive in nature. An integral part of this evolution is information technology and engineering, including books and newspapers, telephone, radio and TV, computers, and mobile communications. Computers and human-engineered technical systems are already superior to humans in strictly logic-based computation tasks. Pattern recognition tasks are where humans still strongly outperform machines. — Ville Pulkki, Matti Karjalainen, Communication Acoustics- An…, 115
