I have yet to see a machine that would survive a single day in a mouse's natural habitat. And I doubt I'll see one in my lifetime.

Mediocre, or even excellent, Python and rap lyrics in Latin are easy stuff, just like chess and arithmetic. Humans just are really bad at them.

It doesn't say specifically, but I think these lasted more than a day, assuming you'll accept random predator species as a sufficient proof-of-concept substitute for mice which have to do many similar things but smaller:

Those robots aren't acquiring their own food, and they're not edible by the creatures that surround them. They're playing on easy mode.
Still passes the "a machine that would survive a single day" test, and given machines run off electricity and we have PV already food isn't a big deal here.
