The obvious meme to invoke here is:

  - AI will solve all of our problems 
  - No not like that!
Are the trillion dollars sloshing around the AI economy well-invested if the refrain is always “you’re holding it wrong”?

So we’re trying to define, through trial and error, what problems “AI” will actually solve, and this paper is one of the many cobblestones on that road.

i mean it's more like

"AI can solve this one problem, but it needs X, Y, Z, because it's not a omnipotent god entity"

"I tried it without any of those things and it didn't work - this is worthless tech!"

I don't know if more accurate calorie counting using AI exists - but it's like being upset that the screwdriver isn't gluing wood. AI is far more than frontier LLMs.
