It then goes on to describe really basic problems billions of humans are naturally really good at, things we have no actual problem with in our real life, as opposed to say things that we are not good at, and therefore are real problems we have.
I'm not saying we shouldn't make AI to rival humans at those things, but they simply aren't our greatest problems.
It's true, in domains such as vision, humans excel. But the implementation of computer vision is an open door for much more powerful robotic applications to emerge, in industry, transportation, medicine, administrative work and caretaking.
Making vision cheap and effective for computers will help humans not need to do such backbreaking work as picking fruit (which was protected from automation because it depended on vision and dexterous manipulation). In agriculture, computer vision could lead to plant-level care, reducing the need for chemicals.
