I can't wait to see what AI can do with the collective time and resources it took for that seagull to evolve.

That's a good point.

My point is it seems we are still quite a few steps behind.

We can land a rocket on the noon without steering it after launch. Can a seagull do that?

[roywiggins]

Something like it has been tried...

How many thousand people were involved?

How many tons of steel?

And it isn't even selv-replicating.

As impressive as the moon landing is it is a totally different thing (and has very little to do with AI.)

[tinymollusk]

Is that true, and is that objectively more impressive?

To the former, I always assumed there were in flight adjustments after launch. Elon's roadster had inaccurate calculations, I heard they were off by like 2%. I assumed the moon landing was similar.
