The areas in which the candidate AIs are surpassing humans are getting steadily harder for skeptics to dismiss by schm-ing the concept.  In recent memory, accomplishments in AI could be dismissed with a casual wave of the hand and a simple “…Eh, chess schmess” and “…Eh, go schmo.”  

 

Now it is “…Eh, comprehension schmomprehension.”

 

The schm-ed words are getting far more difficult to pronounce.  Progress!
