This is an interesting question.

I watch the output with fascination, mostly because of the sheer breadth of knowledge. But thus far I can't think of anything that is categorically different from what humans do, it's just got an insane amount of knowledge available to it.

For example, I gave it an image from a town on a small Chilean island. I was shocked when it nailed it, and in the output it said, "I can see a green wooden street sign, common to Chilean coastal towns on [the specific island]."

I have an entire flashcard section for street signage, but just for practicality I'm limited to memorizing scores, possibly hundreds of signs if I'm insanely dedicated. I would still probably never have this one remote Chilean island.

It does that for everything in every category.
