An artificial intelligence can easily interface with other software in a way that humans can't.

Yes, but many variants are also true so it's unclear what you want to imply.

  • A human can easily interface with software.
  • A human can easily interface with other humans in a way that an artificial intelligence can't.

(for some plausible meaning of 'interface' and 'can't'.

An AI can much more easily interface with software, more easily with other AIs (unless this is the singletoon foom) and likely nearly-as-easily with humans.

This does bring up the point that the post is wrong: humans aren't bad at math. We built stuff to help us and are now good at it.

A human can easily interface with software.

Not as easily because there no direct read and write access to neurons.
