A user argues for using simulations to explore AI's abilities

One user argues that a major jump in visual and 3D understanding can help AI connect reasoning with the real world and other mental models. They say that doesn't mean every ability appears instantly: capabilities need to be drawn out, and quirks remain. Their suggested experiment is to build and work within a 3D environment. In a follow-up reply, they emphasize simulations and toy problems as a way for people and models to build intuition together.
