Progress? Researchers are fighting to make AI as smart as a worm. We need to reach humans first before calling AI progress.

No you don't. They make it better? that is progress.

There is no bar you get to set except "better than the last attempt"

Worms help create fertile soil.

Producing more topsoil would be a huge win here on Earth and make colonizing other planets dramatically more feasible.

Don't underestimate worms!

Show me one worm that can paint as well as the original DALL•E, let alone v2 or Stable Diffusion.

Show me one worm — or even a hamster — that can drive a car as well as Tesla's Autopilot.

Show me one single non-human animal of any species that can write functioning Python code or CSS from a natural language description of what it should achieve, even if it only gets to GPT-2 level let alone v3 as used in Copilot or v3.5 as used in ChatGPT.

What we have yet to do with a worm is literally upload it's brain, but IIRC that's more because nobody with the money was interested in funding the one person publicly interested in figuring out how to measure synaptic weights in vivo.
