> basic interactions with the world around you, tasks that seem easy to us but are actually quite complex

Tasks such as:

  - recognizing objects in our surroundings,
  - speaking,
  - reasoning about other people's thoughts and feelings,
  - playing go?
All of those were at some point "easy for us but very hard for computer programs".
