The funny thing is when I got my first car at 29 I had similar thoughts. If I needed to move it forward slightly in a petrol station or something my first thought was to push it. Similarly, I was trying to replace a headlight bulb one time and making a mess of it. I dropped a spring or something inside the headlight unit. I kept having this thought of just picking the car up and shaking it.

Nobody writes in depth about the mundane practicalities of using a car. Most people don't even think about it ever. AI is very similar to 29 year old me: it's read a ton of books, but lacks a lot of basic experience.

How will AI get this experience that you can't read in a book? How will it learn what kneeding dough feels like? Or how acceleration feels if your body is mostly water? Interesting times ahead...
