It's a question that a B+ student in high-school physics could answer with a few minutes of googling.

If that's beyond the capabilities of AI, then it obviously isn't living up to the hype.

Well, yes. A B+ high-school student can also reliably recognise the number 710. If you think that AI should be able to do something just because a high-school student can, I think it's your expectations which are out of touch.

My expectations are fine. The AI hype is out of touch.
