A recent poll, originating on Reddit, delves into predictions for when artificial intelligence will achieve human-level performance, using mastery in video games as a key indicator. The ambitious criteria require AI to: excel across diverse game genres; learn as efficiently as humans; autonomously deduce game rules from sensory input alone; and consistently outperform the average human player in each game. Critically, the AI must infer rules purely from observing gameplay, without relying on pre-programmed rules or privileged access to the game engine.
