Maybe that's the path to intelligence -- a bunch of ML and reasoning algorithms we already know about just working together and fed with a lot more data...
Once you take apart any AI thing (or any complicated thing n computing) you discover it is just a neural network, just SVD, just NLP + expert system etc. At least that is how I felt about it when I studied in college. The veil of mystery was lifted and it was just algorithms + math.
