In this video, Sabrina figures out the similarities and differences in how people and machines approach learning tasks by racing an AI to learn parkour. Does she get beat by a Boston Dynamics dog? Do chatGPT and DALL-E team up to humble her? Is she just writing buzzwords in hopes that people find this video and gain a nuanced understanding of AI?

I've noticed a trend about your videos (particularly referring to Sabrina), they start in one direction but then end up going in a pretty different way. Do you feel like it's your style now? Was it always the purpose? Great video btw :)

PhDamned

Loved the video! Considering how the overall conclusion is that AI can be useful only when you know its limitations, why do you think we as humans are so fearful that AI will replace everything?

Claire Lin

it seems like sabrina keeps on learning new coding languages for every other video she does… how many coding languages does sabrina know at this point?????? does she basically have a CS degree now?????

Owen Ralph

Did you give your AI person a name and a heartwarming backstory about why they wanted to learn parkour? When can the world expect the Sabrina v Tom Scott parkour challenge it so needs?

liz

sabrina, do you think you have gotten better at parkour/ do you think you will continue doing parkour as a hobby?

Dre

What's your fastest time for solving a Rubik's cube while doing parkour? /troll
