I too plead guilty of not having at all a deep expertise in this area.

But this makes me think of the myth of AI achieving "General Intelligence", ie an intelligence adapting to life and all its messy complexity, like humans do.

Everybody thought it would be a piece of cake in the 1970s, and then the science just didn't followed.

Now with neural networks, and GPUs, this myth is back on the table, but all researchers in the field continue to claim "AI is nowhere near General Intelligence"

A little off topic but people like Kurzweil and Moravec have always made fairly sensible predictions that we'd get AGI around 2030 plus or minus a bit. The fact that some fools said it would be a piece of cake in the 70s or whenever doesn't really prove it's a myth.

Neural networks are decades and decades old.
