I recently watched a video with Stanford AI researchers talking about how the general case of searching for an object like a coffee cup in office is still an unsolved problem. At the same time, my German Shepherd with a pea sized mammalian brain has learned to pick up garbage when we go on nature hikes. After pointing out enough plastic bags, cups, cans, etc., she's somehow learned the concept of trash in the forest and will often find it on her own and bring it to me. Advancing AI to this level, would be a worthy goal.

Sure, but my point is it still wouldn't be able to complete the challenge.
