    It says exceed human performance, not exceed the peak humans in a given discipline.

    Could Kiptum, race an F1 car as fast as Lewis Hamilton?

    Could Lionel Messi play basketball like peak Kobe?

    Sure the headline is hyperbole, but I don’t think we still should compare things like this.

      Hyperbole is an understatement, the headline is obviously just trying to generate clicks. Idk how else we should quantify “human performance” though. Should we compare it’s strength to a sedentary office worker instead? I think the marathon comparison is actually very generous because I doubt this thing can even replicate a reasonable facsimile of a soccer performance.

        Indeed. And lots of normal human beings are able to run marathon. Pretty easy if you set your mind to.
