PUZZLE 1 : Part 3/3 : DISCUSSION : Patterns in ARC-AGI
This puzzle was taken from the ARC-AGI dataset & includes tests that we would expect an AGI to be able to solve easily. Recognising patterns means finding things that repeat or look similar in a group of things, like spotting shapes in the clouds or finding the same picture in a puzzle.
It’s hard for computers because they need to understand the context, deal with messy or missing information, and learn from just a few examples. Humans are naturally good at this because our brains are very flexible, but computers need a lot of help and special instructions to do the same.
It’s hard to make a general AI that can solve these puzzles and do other tasks because it can’t focus on just one thing. Making a computer program that is very good at just these puzzles is easier, but that’s not what we want to test.
