I'm getting really tired of that metric.
Like, human performance has a very wide range and scope.
My car "exceeds human performance."
My toaster exceeds human performance for making toast.
Michael Phelps exceeds the human performance of myself in a pool.
I exceed the human performance of any baby.
This just tells me that the robot is more able at something than the worst human at that thing.
I exceed the average human at idiocy.
