The great thing about computers is that they do what you tell them to do. The bad thing about computers is that they do what you tell them to do.
The world is very complex, and it's often hard for the programmer or even the person training the AI to foresee every corner case of a complex system. The good thing about humans is that they can react on very small data, by knowing things from experience. They can think about what they're doing.
If we make advances toward a general AI this gap could close. Except in the media hype cycle I haven't seen any evidence that we're any closer than 50 years ago.
