One can not explain anything to an AI, it has no comprehension. You're talking to nothing, a brick. Lacking comprehension, using "intelligence" in the name of AI is a marketing joke. I write the stuff, at a very high level. All the "software engineer careers are doomed" crap is nonsense. Lacking comprehension, AI is an idiot savant and a damn good actor, and nothing more because there is literally nothing inside.

So what specific task will AI definitely not be able to do in 5 years?
The majority of what people want, because people will expect to be able to explain what they want, and that is speaking to a uncomprehending wall. Lacking comprehension is incredibly fundamental.

For example: you question I am answering, that act of answering your question requires comprehension of your question. Lacking comprehension, only a lookup of canned answers to expected questions is possible.
