Moravec's paradox
The Moravec'sche Paradox is the discovery by researchers of artificial intelligence and robotics that unlike traditional assumptions senior thinking requires very little calculation, but require low order sensorimotor skills enormous computing resources. The principle was formulated in the 1980s by Hans Moravec , Rodney Brooks , Marvin Minsky and others. Moravec writes: "It is comparatively easy to get computers to perform at adult level on intelligence tests or checkers, and difficult or impossible to teach them a one-year-old's skills in cognition and mobility."
Likewise, Minsky emphasized that the most difficult human skills to reverse engineer are those that are unconscious. "Generally, we are the least aware of what our minds do best," he wrote, adding, "We are more aware of simpler processes that don't work well than more complex processes that work flawlessly."
