I recently watched some Claude Plays Pokemon and believe it's better measure than all those AI benchmarks. The game could be beaten by a 8yo which obviously doesn't have all that knowledge that even small local LLMs posess, but has actual intelligence and could figure out the game within < 100h. So far Claude can't even get past the first half and I doubt any other AI could get much further.

Now I want to watch Claude play Pokemon Go, hitching a ride on self-driving cars to random destinations and then trying to autonomously interpret a live video feed to spin the ball at the right pixels...

the true measure of AI: does it have fun playing pokemon? did it make friends along the way?
