I'm sad that the relevant xkcd is kinda obsolete now (because it's been long enough for that research team to finish doing its thing).
What would be a "nearly impossible" task in this post-AI world? Short of the provably impossible tasks like the busy beaver problem (and even then, you would be able to make an algorithm that covers a subset of the problem space), I really can't think of anything.
I think 100% autonomous robotics and driving is still at least 5-10 years away even with large research teams working on it. I mean truly robust AI which is able to handle any situation you could throw at it with zero intervention needed.
