The year is 2100, AI has mastered all human skills except identifying when a piece of meat has absorbed enough heat. Society's brightest agents work diligently to prove which problems are steak-hard and require the continued existence of the dwindling human underclass.

Maybe. It depends what you count as part of cooking the steak.

I need to go to the market, find the steak I want, and purchase it, get it home, and put it in the fridge.

Then when I want to cook it I need to find it in the fridge, unwrap it, season it, and let it come up to room temp.

That's all before you get to the actual cooking.

The self driving car already does everything.

How many analogies age more than 10 years anyways? They are contextual. It will be a while before a robot flips steaks cheaper (and better) than a human line cook.

> It's substantially harder to reach self driving than it is to cook a "good" steak.

Well, we don't know that, because neither have been achieved.
