summarize General-Purpose Robots

OpenAI said this result brings researchers closer to creating "general-purpose robots," which could learn any human task people train them to imitate.

The multicolored, three-dimensional Rubik's Cubes have baffled humans since the 1970s. However, the cubes have more recently proved a useful tool for measuring the capabilities of artificial intelligence.

One reason, researchers say, is that there are billions of potential moves available to a Rubik's Cube player. There is only one goal, though, and that is to display a single color on each of the cube's six sides.

Finding a solution to a puzzle with that degree of complexity involves a large degree of visualizing. The puzzle-solver must imagine possibilities that aren't actually present. Researchers say that ability comes close to humans' ability to reason and make decisions.

Researchers are working towards creating "general-purpose robots" that can learn any human task they are trained to imitate. The Rubik's Cube has been used as a tool to measure the capabilities of artificial intelligence due to its complexity and the need for visualizing solutions. This ability to imagine possibilities that aren't physically present is similar to human reasoning and decision-making skills.
