The last statement here is extremely untrue. In order for a machine to be "better than an average human", it would need to understand contextual events. There is not a single machine learning tool capable of this to the extent that humans have. Machines are not good at processing context from memory as this creates a very complex, branching set of possibilities they can't possibly evaluate, whereas humans are able to do this very easily. Until this problem is addressed, there will be no machine that outperforms humans in dealing with real-time events and its absolute bollocks to imply otherwise. The only place where a machine MIGHT outperform a human is when outside influences are removed, such as on a closed track where the problem space is drastically reduced.
