Do you have any research evidence to back this up?

I just haven't seen (any?) research on the advanced capabilities they're discussing in the article - open-ended interpretation, being able to answer "why" questions, being able to synthesize information from multiple sources, etc.

I think we're still kind of a long way from these systems, maybe a decade or so, barring major leaps in hardware.

I think we can say that unsupervised language translation models do this.

Edit: Not to suggest that they are on par with human performance at synthesis of data.
